  • Article

We talk a lot about the core architectural principles, concepts and patterns that go into creating a private cloud that enable you to take advantage of the key capabilities that cloud offers over a conventional datacenter.

You also need a platform that fully calls out the critical cloud principle of multi-tenancy.
