One of the advantages of a private cloud architecture is the flexible pooling of resources that allows rapid change to match business demands. These resource pools adapt to the changing demands of existing services and allow for new services to be deployed rapidly. For these pools to maintain adequate performance, they must be designed to handle peak periods and this will also result in periods with idle cycles… To see the full article visit Network Computing: http://www.networkcomputing.com/private-cloud/231903031.

Technical Drivers for Cloud Computing
In a previous post I’ve described the business drivers for Cloud Computing infrastructures (http://www.definethecloud.net/?p=27.) Basically the idea of transforming data center from a cost center into a profit center. In this post I’ll look at the underlying technical challenges that cloud looks to address in order to reduce data center…
Chargeback/Trackback: Yes You Need It
You can’t fix, manage or justify what you don’t understand. IT chargeback/trackback not only helps end users understand their service utilization, but it also helps IT justify and prioritize spend. Measured service is a requirement of NIST’s cloud definition… To read the full article visit: http://www.networkcomputing.com/private-cloud/240003313 Related posts: Thought Experiment…
The Cloud Storage Argument
The argument over the right type of storage for data center applications is an ongoing battle. This argument gets amplified when discussing cloud architectures both private and public. Part of the reason for this disparity in thinking is that there is no ‘one size fits all solution.’ The other part…
