Deploying a private cloud requires segmenting and managing a portion of the data center as a central pool of computing resources. The private cloud infrastructure is highly virtualized and, in many respects, similar to more static consolidate virtual server environments. With a private cloud, however, IT is built differently, IT is run differently, IT is governed differently, IT is sourced differently, and most importantly, IT is consumed differently.
The book is based on the study of enterprise IT organizations that have implemented private cloud solutions. Their private cloud projects range from mid-sized deployments to large-scale private clouds that encompass thousands of servers.

I liked the Visible Ops Cloud because it provides sound practical advice those looking for a roadmap to execute a solid private cloud implementation. It does this by laying out a pathway in clear and measurable steps. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to build a private cloud service because it provides guidance on the considerations one should undertake when building out the service. I gave this book several stars for its ability to take what can be a very complex subject and present the major points in a clear and concise manner.Product details

Visible Ops Private Cloud From Virtualization to Private Cloud in 4 Practical Steps Jeanne Morain Kurt Milne Andi Mann Reviews
Great primer for the IT executive looking a private cloud solutions.Visible Ops Private Cloud From Virtualization to Private Cloud in 4 Practical Steps
Practical guide
A incredible resource for those who want/have to dive into the domain of cloud-computing
Conclusions presented as fact without the supporting evidence. If you want to learn all of the cloud jargon and overly simplified fluff behind cloud services then this is the book for you.
I really liked the approach and at least for me the content was very valuable. It is not about products but more about what is important when building a private cloud environment. I wish I could find as good book about hybrid IT.
This book is worth reading. I would recommend it to folks that really want to get a better understanding of a very old technology "web hosting"
Authors Andi Mann, Kurt Milne and Jeanne Moran have written an IT Process Institute publication, Visible Ops Private Cloud From Virtualization to Private Cloud in 4 Practical Steps. This book is short, easy to follow and engaging. It not only is worth reading, but essential for any IT leader considering virtualization or private cloud technologies.
Information gained from over 30 interviews with organizations that have implemented private cloud solutions along with ITPI research data provides the basis for the book's analyses and conclusions, although the footnotes reflect many other studies and sources as well. The 60 plus years of combined author IT process management experience is evident in their ability to take a very complex topic and distill it down to an easily digestible format.
The book starts off defining a private cloud and how it differs from a fully virtualized data center. It also discusses the three primary advantages that private clouds have over public clouds. While it should be fairly obvious that a private cloud enables a level of security and control not easily matched by a public cloud provider, much more surprising is the authors' contention that a well executed private cloud is around 30% less expensive. Private clouds also enable a degree of customization that public clouds are unable to match.
The remainder of Visible Ops Private Cloud provides a four-phased approach for implementing a private cloud
Phase 1 Cut through the cloud clutter
Phase 2 Design services, not systems
Phase 3 Orchestrate and optimize resource
Phase 4 Align and accelerate business results
The first Appendix dives into Virtualization impact on audit and compliance, and the second covers Reducing private cloud security risks. Noticeably absent are references to specific technologies by leading private cloud companies such as VMware, Cisco and Computer Associates.
While 107 pages (including appendixes and glossary) is only enough to provide a general overview to the topic of private cloud, the four phases constitute a realistic high-level guideline for a successful implementation. I especially like the way each phase starts off with a matrix describing both the issues that are addressed along with narrative from an IT organization staff member that actually had to deal with the particular issue. The layout in general is done really well for a technical book and includes both figures and highlight emphases written with monotony-breaking cursive. Occasional cloud-based Dilbert cartoons help to further make the reading enjoyable.
Despite the book's conciseness, redundancy shows up in places such a repetition of the four implementation phases in Appendix A. It stretches a bit at times in order to provide an adequate number of bullets, and it lacks a consolidated section extolling the benefits of private cloud. The authors repeatedly insist that not all servers are appropriate for a private cloud, but they don't explain what workloads should be excluded.
These very small drawbacks, however, pale in comparison to the positives of Visible Ops Private Cloud. While I've been writing for almost two years about the issues around the phenomenon that Andi Mann coined as VM Stall, this book was particularly useful to me in providing greater insight into both the cause and remedy. Unfortunately, it was written was written too late to incorporate the CA-sponsored 2011 study, The State of IT Automation, which shows that 45% of organizations take a week or longer to provision a virtual machine, but it nonetheless gives plenty of reasons as to why the statistic should not be surprising. Adopting a private cloud not only has the capability to fulfill enterprise virtualization objectives, but to enable true data center transformation.
I liked the Visible Ops Cloud because it provides sound practical advice those looking for a roadmap to execute a solid private cloud implementation. It does this by laying out a pathway in clear and measurable steps. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to build a private cloud service because it provides guidance on the considerations one should undertake when building out the service. I gave this book several stars for its ability to take what can be a very complex subject and present the major points in a clear and concise manner.
