During the last years the use of cloud computing environments for both researchers and enterprises is a major trend. On the one hand, cloud computing is a flexible and scalable paradigm that offers hardware and software services to be purchased by users. On the other hand, users have extra costs in several procedures, like calculating how many resources are needed by the applications. These tasks could be expensive and time-consuming. In this work we present iCanCloud, a simulation platform for modeling and simulating cloud environments. iCanCloud provides a complete set of modules for modeling with high level detail, a cloud computing environments and their underlying architecture.
