- The Microsoft Private Cloud enables:
- Management of the data-centre fabric as a single pool of resources
- Delivery of scalable applications and workloads
- Focus on the management of the data-centre service and it’s dependencies
- Federation of services across the full cloud continuum
Microsoft is enabling customers to build the foundation for a private cloud infrastructure using Windows Server and System Center family of products with the Dynamic Data Center Toolkit for Enterprises, availability scheduled in the first half of 2010.
The Dynamic Data
Center Toolkit for Enterprises is a free, partner-extensible toolkit that
will enable datacenters to dynamically pool, allocate, and manage resources to
enable IT as a service.
- An architectural roadmap, deployment guidance, and best practices
- Familiar tools that are compatible with existing applications
- Interoperability with public clouds
With this new effort, Microsoft is keen to maintain a lead
in “packaged” or “one-stop” PaaS Cloud Computing, opening the doors to small
software companies to build tools(management, monitoring, custom solutions) to
accompany the on-premises offerings from Microsoft.
