Build a Private Cloud for your enterprise

Many organizations, both public and private, are challenged by economic concerns, which increase the pressure to implement more cost-effective and agile datacenter services. With the introduction of cloud computing, IT organizations now have a blueprint to provide capabilities such as self-service, chargeback, resource pooling, and elasticity of services. For many IT decision makers, the need to implement private cloud services exists today.

Moving from an traditional IT delivery model to a private cloud model, demanded by business, demands an serious number of challenges for IT leaders :

Where can I make the savings?
Where are the opportunities for efficiency without impacting business services?
What changes do I have to make to deliver a private cloud?
How can I transition from a traditional datacenter to a Private cloud?

Build a Private Cloud for your Enterprise

At the moment, it seems that most IT organizations are evolving into the cloud via their virtual machine software. As a result, most of them are cobbling together various management tools and virtual infrastructure components with the expectation of building a management framework for the cloud.

Two models for cloud services can be delivered in a private cloud:

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Platform as a Service (PaaS)

With IaaS, you can use infrastructure resources (compute, network, and storage) as a service, while PaaS provides a complete application platform as a service.

Computacenter can build a private cloud on Windows Server 2008 R2, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Microsoft System Center.
