Designing a Private Cloud Infrastructure

1:09:31 The Planning Phase
Before you start designing cloud infrastructure, or even selecting the products you want to use to implement it, you MUST know what services you want to offer, who your customers are, and what workloads you’re expecting. More

49:41 Designing Compute and Storage
Start the design process closest to the workload: compute and storage elements. You’ll also have to decide whether to use traditional storage arrays or a distributed storage solution. More

23:16 Designing Network Services
The network services elements you’ll use in you cloud depend on the services your cloud has to offer, and the amount of self-service you want to offer to your customers. You could decide to use physical or virtual appliances, and deploy shared or per-tenant appliances. More
