Visible Ops Private Cloud: From Virtualization to Private Cloud in 4 Practical Steps

by Andi Mann, Kurt Milne, Andi Mann

Deploying a private cloud requires segmenting and managing a portion of the data center as a central pool of computing resources. The private cloud infrastructure is highly virtualized and, in many respects, similar to more static consolidate virtual server environments. With a private cloud, however, IT is built differently, IT is run differently, IT is governed differently, IT is sourced differently, and most importantly, IT is consumed differently.The book is based on the study of enterprise IT organizations that have implemented private cloud solutions. Their private cloud projects range from mid-sized deployments to large-scale private clouds that encompass thousands of servers.
