Private cloud technology offers unprecedented scale, provisioning, and automation and agility. Build your own private cloud or choose a dedicated hosted solution and empower your business with cloud power today.
Microsoft solutions for private cloud give you the flexibility and control to harness the power of the cloud on your terms. A private cloud from Microsoft provides end to end service management giving you deep insight about your applications and workloads so you focus more attention on delivering business value.
End-to-End Management
Only Microsoft’s private cloud uses in-depth knowledge to manage applications, employing orchestration and automation to enable the complete end-to-end service management your business depends on. With Microsoft, your applications that deliver the business value drive the resources - including virtual machines - not the other way around.
Comprehensive Approach
Microsoft takes a comprehensive approach that puts our customers’ needs ahead of any particular technology. A Microsoft private cloud uniquely helps bring IT together and works well with other pieces of your infrastructure, including:
Multiple vendor hypervisors
Cross Platforms and Frameworks
3rd party tools and Infrastructure
Flexibility and Control
Microsoft provides common management, identity, and development tools that work across the “hybrid cloud” – the combination of private and public cloud environments. This gives you the control and empowerment to build and run an application on whatever cloud will deliver your business the greatest value.
What Is a Private Cloud?
Private cloud is the implementation of cloud services on resources that are dedicated to your organization, whether they exist on-premises or off-premises. With a private cloud, you get many of the benefits of public cloud computing—including self-service, scalability, and elasticity—with the additional control and customization available from dedicated resources.
There are two models for cloud services that can be delivered in a private cloud: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and 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. Microsoft offers solutions that deliver IaaS and PaaS for both private and public cloud deployments.
Microsoft Solution for IaaS in a Private Cloud
Using the infrastructure as a service model, the Microsoft solution for private cloud, built on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V and System Center, is a key part of Microsoft’s approach to cloud computing, enabling you to build out a dedicated cloud environment to transform the way you deliver IT services to the business.
