4. Introduction to Cloud Computing
Cloud Computing has recently emerged as an attractive model of providing Information
Technology (IT) infrastructure(i.e., computing, storage, and network) to large as well as
small enterprises both in private & public sectors. An enormous surgein the popularity of
cloud computing is partly driven by its promiseof on demand scalability and flexibility
without making upfrontinvestment in Setting up and running large scale computing
infrastructures and data centers.
Like many practitioners and researchers, wealso usethe following definition of cloud
computing provided by the US National institute of standards and technology (NIST).
“Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a
shared pool of configurablecomputing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage,
applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal
management effort or service provider Interaction.”
Simply put, cloud computing provides a variety of computing resources , fromservers and
storageto enterpriseapplications such as email, security, backup/DR, voice, all delivered
over the Internet. The Cloud delivers a hosting environment that is immediate, flexible,
scalable, secure, and available – while saving corporations money, time and resources.

5. Cloud Service Models
A serviceis defined as a fine-grained reusable resources (i.e., infrastructureor
business processes) availablefroma service provider; this is now what is
popularly called ―as a service‖. Services should havelow entrance barriers
(making them available for low budget enterprises), largescalability, multitenancy
(sameresources shared for many user, without interference), and supportfor
variety of access possibilities concerning different types of hardware
infrastructures and operating systems.
Software as a Service (SaaS) is a kind of application that is available as a serviceto
users; it delivers softwareas a serviceover the Internet, eliminating the need to
install and run the application on local computers in order to simplify the
maintenance and support. Oneof the main differences of using such an
application that the application is usually used without being able to make a lot of
adaptations and preferably without tight integration with other integration with
other using a thin client interface such as a web browser; the serviceprovider
does all the operation and maintenance fromthe application layer to the
infrastructurelayer. The applications thoseare good candidates for being offered
as SaaS are Accounting, Video Conferencing, Customer Relation Management and
ITService Management. Oneof the main benefits of SaaS is lower cost, web
availability and reliability.
SaaS Examples-
6. Platformas a Service (PaaS) supplies all that is needed to build applications
directly fromthe Internetwith no local softwareinstallation. The PaaS service
model enables the deployment of applications without the costand complexity of
buying and managing the Underlying hardwareand softwarelayers. A customer
can deploy an application directly on the cloud infrastructure(withoutmanaging
and controlling that infrastructure) using the Programming languages and tools
supported by a provider. A customer has the controlover its applications and
hosting environment’s configurations. Itsupports web developmentinterfaces
and hosting environment’s configurations such as Simple ObjectAccess Protocol
(SOAP) and Representational State Transfer (REST). The interfaces allow for the
construction of multiple web services (mash-ups), and arealso able to access
databases and reuseservices available within private network.
PaaS Examples-
Infrastructure as aService (IaaS) delivers a computer infrastructurethat is a
fundamental resourcelike processing power, storagecapacity and network to
customers; instead of building data centers, purchasing servers, softwareor
network equipments, a customer buys the resources as a fully outsourced service;
a customer does not manage the underlying infrastructurebut has full control
over the operating systems and the applications running on it. IaaS models often
provideautomatic supportfor on demand scalability of computing and storage
resources.
IaaS Examples-
7. Cloud Deployment Models
Public Cloud
• Public cloud (off-siteand remote) describes cloud computing where
resources aredynamically provisioned on an on-demand, self-servicebasis
over the Internet, via web applications/web services, open API, froma
third-party provider who bills on a utility computing basis.
Private cloud
• A Private cloud environment is often the firststep for a corporation prior to
adopting a public cloud initiative. Corporations havediscovered the
benefits of consolidating shared services on virtualized hardwaredeployed
froma primary datacenter to servelocal and remote users.
Hybrid cloud
• A Hybridcloud environmentconsists of some portion of computing
resources on-site(on premise) and off-site (public cloud). By integrating
public cloud services, users can leverage cloud solutions for specific
functions that are too costly to maintain on-premisesuch as virtual server
disaster recovery, backups and test/development environments.
Community cloud
• A Community cloud is formed when severalorganizations with similar
requirements sharecommon infrastructure. Costs arespread over fewer
users than a public cloud but more than a single tenant.
8. Introducing Private Cloud
Every organization wants to use its resources well. One way to do this is by
running applications in virtual machines (VMs) rather than directly on physical
machines. Virtualization has real value, and mostorganizations have
adopted this approach in their datacenters. Usefulas it is, however, the next step
in the evolution of virtualization has become clear: its private cloud.
A private cloud provides a more effective way to deploy, use, and manage VMs,
applications, and other ITresources on hardware that’s dedicated to a single
organization. Microsoft’s privatecloud technologies, embodied in SystemCenter
2012 and Hyper-V, makethis possible. This projectprovides a basic overview of
this technology, explaining whatit is and why it’s useful.
What is a Private Cloud?
A Private cloud is a particular cloud model that involves a distinct and secure
cloud based environment in which only the specified client can access and
operate. As with other cloud computing models, private cloud will provide
computing power as a service within a virtualized environment using an
underlying pool of physicalcomputing resources. However, under theprivate
cloud model, the cloud is only accessibleby a single organization or datacenter
providing them with greater control, privacy and security. This infrastructureis
provisioned to servecorporateusers. Itactually resides behind the corporate
firewall for its own internal use. Private cloud softwareintegrates with the
virtualization layer and provides the self-serviceportal and management layer for
users and cloud administrators.
9. Private Cloud and Public Cloud Comparison
The comparison between a private cloud and a public cloud is often done on the
basis of how each one of them is accessible, provides scalability, cost-effectiveor
secure. The key difference between a private cloud and a public cloud is the
workloads thatare running on the infrastructure.
Public cloud is used as a servicevia internet by the users, whereas a private
cloud as the name conveys is deployed within certain boundaries like
firewall settings and is completely managed and monitored by the
administrator in a datacenter.
Users haveto pay a monthly bill for public cloud services, butin caseof
private cloud, money is charged on the basis of per GB usagealong with
bandwidth transfer fees.
Public cloud functions on the prime principle of storagedemand scalability,
which means it requires no hardwaredevices. On the contrary, no
hardwareis required even in private cloud, but the data stored in the
private cloud can only be shared between users of an organization and
third party sharing depends upon trustthey build with them. It is also
monitored by the business entity whereit is running.
Private cloud cannot be accessed fromanywhereand at any point of time,
whereas public cloud creates an accessible business environmentthat can
be from anywhereand at any time.
The initial cost of setting up the private cloud infrastructure is expensive,
but it gets minimal at later stages of using it as as a service. In case of public
cloud initial cost is minimal, but if data is stored for a long period of time, it
proves to be highly expensive.
Yet it’s misleading to think that organizations need to choosebetween private
and public clouds. Some scenarios, such as supporting Internet-scaleapplications,
are clearly a good fit for public cloud technologies such as Microsoft’s Windows
Azure. But private clouds are really justthe evolution of today’s virtualized
datacenters. Any organization that is serious aboutvirtualization today, regardless
of its public cloud plans, should also be serious aboutprivate clouds. They’rethe
next step on the virtualization path.
10. Benefits of using Private Cloud
The key benefits and features of private cloud are as follows:
1. Higher Security andPrivacy: One main advantageof private cloud is that
they are far more secure than other alternatives, since the organization’s
data is tightly secured and controlled on servers that no other company has
access to. The servers can either sit within the firewall of the organization
using them, with those servers managed and maintained by internal IT
staff, or that can be located within the datacenter of a cloud service
provider, with an organization accessing the data stored on the servers via
private and securenetwork links.
2. Greater Control: As a private cloud is only accessible by a single
organization, that organization will have the ability to configureand
manage it within their needs and requirements. However, this level of
control removes the economies of scale generated in public clouds by
having centralized management of hardware.
3. Cost and Energy Efficiency: Implementing a private cloud model can
improvethe allocation of resources within an organization by ensuring that
the availability of resources to individual business functions can directly and
flexibly respond to their demand. It does make more efficient use of the
computing resources than traditional hardwareequipments as it minimize
the investmentinto unused capacity.
4. ImprovedReliability: Even whereresources arehosted internally, the
creation of virtualized operating environments means that the network is
more resilient to individual failures across the physicalinfrastructure. In
addition, wherethe cloud is hosted with a third-party, the organization can
still benefit from the physicalsecurity afforded to infrastructurehosted
within datacenter.
5. Cloud Bursting: Someproviders may offer the opportunity to employ cloud
bursting, within a privatecloud offering, in the event of spikes in demand.
This serviceallows the provider to switch certain non sensitivefunctions to
a public cloud to free up more space in the privatecloud for the sensitive
functions that require it.
11. Requirements for moving to a Private Cloud
Before moving to a private cloud, we need to ensurethat the systems meet the
prerequisites. This includes ensuring that we have a public key infrastructurein
place to help secure the private cloud service. We also need to identify the
services that we wantto migrate to the private cloud infrastructure, and then
plan how to manage, monitor and protect those services.
The following common business requirements can induce organizations to move
to a private cloud infrastructure-
Competitive Advantage: A competitive advantagecould mean the ability to
performbetter, faster, smoother or at a much lower cost than your
competitors could. Using cloud computing, you can respond to a service
request immediately, and providethe servicein a shorten time.
Scalability: This is the ability to scale the business quickly, and with minimal
cost and downtime. Scalability also means being able to deploy or retire
business applications on demand.
ReducedCost: Reduced costs include IToverhead without compromising
business revenue. Consolidating server roles enables the consolidation of
physicalservers, which reduces the costwithout affecting the business
revenue.
Enhanced Security andControl: Enhanced security and controlmeans
implementing a sophisticated permissions-based authorization scheme. In a
private cloud, the application administrators receive access only to the
resources thatthey require. Additionally, changes to the systemcan be
logged automatically.
ImprovedSLA: Due to scalability and the ability to move applications
quickly and without outage to other servers, no downtime is required to
update physicalmachines.
ControlledResourceUsage: Resourceusagein a private cloud is controlled
and can be shared between the virtual machines on their host machines.
Therefore, resourceusageis more efficient than in a non-cloud
environment.
Availability andPerformance: With host clusters, you can improve the
availability of virtual machines running applications that previously were
not clustered. When an application requires more performance, you can
move it to a more powerfulhostmachine in a privatecloud.

Overview of Private Cloud Architecture
Here is a sample overview of what kind of hardwareyou can usefor setup and
deploy the private cloud. This can be differentfrom your environmentbut this is
an ideal architecture to evaluate the private cloud in a typical datacenter.

Hypervisors: TheMicrosoftprivatecloud supports threehypervisors:
MicrosoftHyper-V, VMwareESX/ESXi, and Citrix XenServer. The private
cloud aspects of SystemCenter 2012 work identically across all three, even
in environments that combine two or more of these options. Still, it’s worth
looking in a bit moredetail at Microsoft’s Hyper-v technology.
Hyper-V is in its third release today, and it supports the typical functions of a
mature hypervisor. Theseinclude:
High Availability-Itallows grouping servers together in a hyper-v cluster, then
letting a failed server’s work beautomatically shifted to another server in the
cluster.
Live Migration- Itallows a VM to be moved fromone physicalserver to another
without any disruption to applications running in that VM or to the people using
these applications. To performmaintenance on a physicalserver, for example, an
administrator can useLive Migration to movethat entire server’s VMs to another
machine, performthe maintenance, and then movethe VMs back to their original
home. Users of applications running in those VMs won’tnotice any changes
throughoutthis process.
Hyper-V also supports a rangeof guest operating systems, including several
versions of Windows and Windows Server, SUSELinux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux,
and CentOS.
Preparing the Private cloud Infrastructure
Once I havethe all prerequisites downloaded the installation process can
commence.
17. Installing Windows server 2012 hosts
Installwindows server 2012on the two physicalservers and givethem suitable
IPv4 addresses as per your need. After this add the Hyper-V role.

Configuring the Shared storage
Create a SMB 3.0 share
Before implement a highly available private cloud solution, we need a commonly
accessible storageplatformthat can hostthe highly available services.
Open Server Manager and select Add Roles and Features.
In the Installation Type screen, tick Role-based or feature-based
installation.
In the server selection screen select host1 fromthe server pool.
In the server roles screen, expand File and StorageServices and tick File and
iSCSI Services.
In the confirmation page click install.
After completing installation, open server manager and select File and
Storageservices.
Click Shares.
Select Tasks and then select New Share.
On the select profilescreen, select SMB Share- Applications.
In the sharelocation screen, select host1 and then select the drivewhere
you would like to hostyour shareon (Min 100 GB free spacein that drive).
Inputthe sharename SMB3Share.
Then customizeyour permissions and security settings and tick full control.
Select the host1 and host2 computer accounts and confirm that they are
listed in the permissions.
On the confirmation page, click on create.
This now completes the creation of a SMB 3.0 Sharewhich will be used as the
storage target for the cluster.
Install the Microsoft Failover Cluster
Load server manager, select Add roles and features.
In the installation type screen, select role-based or feature-based
installation and click next.
19. On the server selection screen, select host1 fromthe server pool and click

Creating a Private Cloud In VMM 2012
An administrator creates clouds using Virtual Machine Manager 2012. The
physicalresources a cloud uses can come fromeither hostgroups, each of which
can contain some combination of physicalservers running Hyper-V, ESX/ESXi, or
XenServer, or VMwareresourcepools, which contain only servers running
ESX/ESXi. For each cloud, the administrator can specify its total capacity along
with many details: whatits VMs can look like (including options for processors,
memory, disks, and network interface cards), whether the VMs use Higher
Availability, and many more.
The VMM administrator also defines what the cloud’s users areallowed to do.
Along with per-user quotas, VMM2012 provides a rangeof fine-grained options
for specifying this. There are separate permissions for authoring a VM template or
servicetemplate, for example, for starting a VM or application fromthose
templates, and for stopping a VMor service. A VMM administrator can also
create delegated administrators who have limited access to specific parts of the
physicalenvironment, such as a branch office.
.

Final Thoughts
Every organization wants to minimize its infrastructurecosts, freeing up more IT
dollars for innovation. Every organization also wants to makeITmore
responsive—taking days or weeks to provision a VM or deploy an application just
isn’t acceptable. Private clouds can help with both of these things. The
technologies in SystemCenter 2012, including VirtualMachine Manager, App
Controller 2012, ServiceManager, Operations Manager, and Orchestrator, let
organizations create one or more private clouds. Working with multiple
hypervisors over diversehardware, theseclouds can help lower costs and
improveresponsetimes. Server virtualization has proven to be a remarkably
usefultechnology, saving money and improving servicein enterprises and public
sector organizations around the world. The next step on the virtualization road is
to automate more of how weallocate, use, and update those VMs and the
applications they support. Thenext step is private clouds.
