Steps to migrating to a private cloud

Overview

Advances in server hardware, network infrastructure, and virtualization allow for a range of IT architectures, including the use of computing clouds. Clouds are collections of computing, storage, and network services that can be rapidly allocated for particular jobs and then easily released to be employed for other tasks when the jobs are completed.

The adoption and continued use of public cloud services demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of this computing model. Businesses and other organizations with underutilized server capacity may be well served by redeploying their hardware in a private cloud configuration
