Private Cloud Introductions by Job Role

The Microsoft Server and Cloud Division has embarked on a new initiative to provide a more holistic, end-to-end information experience for the most compelling solutions and scenarios facing IT organizations today. A current area of focus, interest and some confusion is Private Cloud. This is a great opportunity to provide a clear and definitive detailed description and reference architecture to allow decision makers, architects and implementers understand what the potential is, what the implications are, what’s involved and what an appropriate roadmap may look like. This kind of comprehensive technical guidance will be provided within the TechNet solutions area for Private Cloud and will be growing over time. As of today we have some initial insight and guidance available and we are actively working on more guidance around Infrastructure as a services, security and identity for the Private Cloud as well as operations and management guidance.
