Cisco UCS and EMC VNX 5. Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track 2. July 2. 01. 2 Introduction. The Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track Program is a joint effort between Microsoft and its partners to help organizations quickly develop and implement private clouds, while reducing both the cost and the risk. It provides a reference architecture that combines Microsoft software, consolidated guidance, and validated configurations with partner technology such as computing power, network and storage architectures, and value added software components. The private cloud model provides much of the efficiency and agility of cloud computing along with the increased control and customization achieved through dedicated private resources. With the Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track Program Fast Track, Microsoft and its partners provide organizations both the control and the flexibility required to reap the full benefits of the private cloud.

Cisco and EMC with Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track utilizes the core capabilities of Windows Server, HyperV, and System Center to deliver a private cloud. Whats in the Release Notes The release notes cover the following topics Whats New Earlier Releases of vCenter Server 5. 5 Internationalization. The Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track Program integrates best in class hardware implementations with Microsofts software to create a Reference Implementation. This solution has been co developed by Microsoft, Cisco and EMC and and has gone through a validation process. As a Reference Implementation, Microsoft, Cisco and EMC have taken the work of building a private cloud that is ready to meet a customers needs. Faster deployment. End to end architectural and deployment guidance Streamlined infrastructure planning due to predefined capacity Enhanced functionality and automation through deep knowledge of infrastructure Integrated management for virtual machine VM and infrastructure deployment Self service portal for rapid and simplified provisioning of resources Technical Overview NIST Definition of Cloud Computing Note The following text is a verbatim copy of the NIST Definition of Cloud Computing v. Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources e. This cloud model is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models. Essential Characteristics. On demand self service. A consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities, such as server time and network storage, as needed automatically without requiring human interaction with each service provider. Broad network access. Capabilities are available over the network and accessed through standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneous thin or thick client platforms e. Resource pooling. The providers computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to consumer demand. There is a sense of location independence in that the customer generally has no control or knowledge over the exact location of the provided resources but may be able to specify location at a higher level of abstraction e. Examples of resources include storage, processing, memory, and network bandwidth. Rapid elasticity. Capabilities can be elastically provisioned and released, in some cases automatically, to scale rapidly outward and inward commensurate with demand. To the consumer, the capabilities available for provisioning often appear to be unlimited and can be appropriated in any quantity at any time. Measured service. Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability. Resource usage can be monitored, controlled, and reported, providing transparency for both the provider and consumer of the utilized service. Service Models. Software as a Service Saa. S. The capability provided to the consumer is to use the providers applications running on a cloud infrastructure. The applications are accessible from various client devices through either a thin client interface, such as a web browser e. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, storage, or even individual application capabilities, with the possible exception of limited user specific application configuration settings. Platform as a Service Paa. S. The capability provided to the consumer is to deploy onto the cloud infrastructure consumer created or acquired applications created using programming languages, libraries, services, and tools supported by the provider. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, or storage, but has control over the deployed applications and possibly configuration settings for the application hosting environment. Infrastructure as a Service Iaa. S. The capability provided to the consumer is to provision processing, storage, networks, and other fundamental computing resources where the consumer is able to deploy and run arbitrary software, which can include operating systems and applications. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure but has control over operating systems, storage, and deployed applications and possibly limited control of select networking components e. Deployment Models. Private cloud. The cloud infrastructure is provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization comprising multiple consumers e. It may be owned, managed, and operated by the organization, a third party, or some combination of them, and it may exist on or off premises. Community cloud. The cloud infrastructure is provisioned for exclusive use by a specific community of consumers from organizations that have shared concerns e. Intelli. Snap Backup Support. Table of Contents.
