Hyper-V Cloud Fast Track • Shared pools of resources • Scalable and elastic • Continuous availability • Automated workflow • Integrated security and identity • Predictable, multitenant platform • Usage metering and chargeback • Self-service portal and services catalog FEATURES WHAT IS THE PRIVATE CLOUD? Microsoft ® private cloud solutions, built on the Windows Server ® 2008 R2 Hyper-V™ technology and Microsoft System Center solutions, are a key element of our approach to cloud computing, helping customers and service providers build dedicated infrastructure as a service (IaaS) environments that transform the way they deliver IT services. A Microsoft private cloud pools and dynamically allocates IT resources across business units. This means that IT can deploy services quickly and scale them out to meet critical needs whenever and wherever they occur—all while tracking resource usage with appropriate charges back to line-of-business owners. Microsoft private cloud solutions are optimized for service delivery and provide both the flexibility and control to harness the full power of the cloud today. These solutions: • Provide a familiar and consistent platform across traditional, private, and public cloud environments, so that customers can use the investments and skill sets they already have, while taking advantage of the new value the cloud offers. • Manage across heterogeneous physical and virtual environments, standardize and automate data center processes, and provide deep insight into key business applications—helping to enable end-to-end services management. • Capitalize on a common identity framework, management platform, and development environment across private and public clouds to ensure investments made today in a private cloud can be extended to public cloud offerings as business demands evolve. Through just-in-time provisioning of IaaS on dedicated resources, IT can streamline processes on a standardized, reliable, and scalable platform; be more responsive to business needs; and more fully use available hardware.
