Microsoft’s Private Cloud Solution Hub….

Good Morning Folks!

I am ramping back up after lots of travel and the holidays to get some great new information on the blog. For this entry, I would like to introduce you to the Microsoft Private Cloud Solution Hub. This is THE landing page for all things Private Cloud related for our solutions.

As you know, Hyper-V for Virtualization and the System Center Suite for management, deployment, monitoring, reporting and more, make up a very robust solution for deploying Private Clouds on Microsoft Platform. You can download and test these solutions at no charge from these links --

Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 Trial – If you Need a full operation system for management plus addition networking features, choose this trial download.

Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 – If you want a hypervisor only virtualization solution, choose this download.

System Center 2012 – This download link allows you to download all or just some of the System Center components for evaluation.

The Private Cloud Solution Hub provides guidance, white papers and other useful information on how to get started with Private Cloud using Microsoft technologies. You can find links to growing private cloud communities, training for VMWare professionals who want to learn Hyper-V virtualization, and much, much more.

Cheers!
