The self-service portal is a fully supported, partner extensible solution built on top of Windows Server 2008 R2, Hyper-V and System Center VMM.

The portal reduces the time needed to provision infrastructures and their components by offering business unit “on-boarding” , infrastructure request and change management. It also includes detailed guidance on how to implement the portal inside your environment.
