What is the Definition of a Private Cloud? - wikipedia

Private cloud is infrastructure operated solely for a single organization, whether managed internally or by a third-party and hosted internally or externally.[41]

They have attracted criticism because users "still have to buy, build, and manage them" and thus do not benefit from lower up-front capital costs and less hands-on management,[42] essentially "[lacking] the economic model that makes cloud computing such an intriguing concept".[43][44]

What is the Definition of a Private Cloud?

• We have a private cloud in our shop. All of our servers are virtualized and we can create and manage them through a web-based portal (ubiquity and service oriented). Many VMs share the physical infrastructure (utility computing).


Cloud Capabilities & Use Cases

Test / Development

Enterprise Private Cloud

High Value Service Provider

Self-Service

Elasticity

Internet Access

Shared Infrastructure

Pay as you Go

Isolation / Containment

Encryption

Availability

Service Level Compliance

ITSM Adaptable




• Elasticity – Seemingly infinite resources

– Grow and shrink based on activity




Challenge– Administrative

expenses are a function of the degree of dynamism

Solution

Automation

Implication #1

Dynamism ↑ ∞ => OPEX ↑ ∞


The Automation Knothole


Virtualized Environment

• Service-Oriented Infrastructure– Admin provisions VMs

• Elasticity – Admin can grow and shrink VMs


• Utility– Shared Infrastructure– Isolation/Containment


Self-Provisioning Portal – What If???

• We installed a self-service portal in front of vCenter

• We Allow end users to provision VMs

• VMs for various business units were isolated (multi-tenant)

• We simplified the physical server provisioning process

• VMs were allocated on a leased basis

• We did 3 things - Automate, Automate, Automate


This is a true story. Names have not been changed to protect the innocent

Policy Driven by Business UnitsLimits and Leasing Terms


Challenge: Labor Intensive, Time Consuming Virtual Machine (VM) Resource Provisioning


Solution: Automated VM Provisioning With Unisys uOrchestrate Software

ITSM Adaptable




• Elasticity – Grow and shrink based on activity


• Utility– Shared Infrastructure– Isolation/Containment


• Security / Adaptability– Encryption– Identity / Authorization / Single Sign-on

• ITSM Automation / Adaptability– Availability Management– Financial Management– Change Management– Configuration Management– Service Catalog– Service Level Management*



• Automate Application Management – When VMs are created, agents are automatically embedded for backup , performance and capacity management

• Automated Asset Tracking – When VMs are created, the Configuration Item is automatically updated in the CMDB

• Automate incident management – incidents are automatically sent during the provisioning process

• Automate performance and capacity management – insert agents and automate updates for the collection process

• Automate VM provisioning tasks – Standardize the VM templates and automatically allocate them based on pre-determined approval schemes

• Automate Security – Establish tiers and tenants so that they can be automatically isolated using vLAN technology or more sophisticated encryption technology

• Automate Identity and Access Management federation – Single sign-on and seamless management from datacenter management to cloud management


Implication #2

Automation ↑ 100% => Availability ↑ 100%

Hybrid Applications


Capacity Planning

• A well defined Capacity Planning Process is required to achieve a cloud-like environment in a shared infrastructure

• Automated periodic reports

• Understand to cadence of growth as well as your supply chain

• Service Level Objectives – Increase 10% of the resources within 2 days– Increase 25% of the infrastructure within 5 days– If a cluster consists of n servers, add more servers if n-1

servers exceeds 80% utilization
