In this post I am specifically addressing private cloud hosting, not commercial cloud hosting systems. In a typical traditional hosting we have several application servers that are specifically assigned to do specific operations like, Active directory server, Web server, Application server, Custom application servers, CRM, Workflow Servers, reporting services servers, Data warehousing servers, and Databases. Apart from those we have Firewalls, DNS, and Load Balancing and clusters.
In a private cloud technology we can move all underutilized services or servers where each of them take equal load by distributing the hosting on all servers using private cloud technology or consolidate all the services in to two servers using the same private cloud technology and expand it based on the need.
By this we are implementing virtualization of the application services. The kind of architecture takes the advantages of cloud computing at the same time addressed the concerns like data security, corporate governance, and reliability.
Windows Azure a Microsoft technology for cloud services, it provide the cloud services operating system that serves as the development, service hosting and service management environment for the private/public cloud hosting services. It simplifies the storage to host, scale, and manage Web applications on the Intranet/ Internet.
Microsoft enables customers to build the foundation for private cloud infrastructure using Hyper-V and the System Center family of products with the Dynamic Infrastructure Toolkit for System Center.
