System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2012 enables building private clouds and federating them to public clouds. VMM 2012 focuses on fabric management, services, cloud deployment, and fabric management. It allows highly automated management of Hyper-V, storage, networks, and other infrastructure. VMM 2012 also supports building private clouds with capabilities like self-service user roles, quotas, and templates to model multi-tier applications. Additionally, a product called Concero allows extending private clouds built with VMM 2012 into the public Azure cloud for a hybrid approach.

Cloud BenefitsReliability and predictabilityApplications are highly available, fault tolerantRemediation from failure is simple (re-start, re-deploy)Highly automatedRatio of servers/admins is ~50:1 in enterprises todayRatio of servers/admins is ~500:1 in “cloud” datacentersAgility and speedApplications are deployed, changes are made, remediation is executed in minutesDeploying applications takes weeks in the enterprise and it needs to be daysFocus is on applications/servicesResults are measured relative to service qualitySCVMM 2012 is designed to bring cloud benefits to the enterprise datacenter

13. Private CloudsPrivate CloudAbstraction that enables opaque usage model for service and VM managementFabricCompute: Logical grouping of hosts or clusters in host groupsStorage: Storage Classifications, Pools, Providers and ArraysNetwork: Logical Networks, IP/MAC Address Pools, Load Balancers, VIP TemplatesDelegation - User RoleQuota: Defines per-user limits on compute, memory, storage, number of VMs

14. Cloud CapacityCloud can exposeAggregate capacity of underlying resources (vCPU, Memory, Storage)Oversubscription is allowedDimensions of CapacityvCPUsMemoryStorageNumber of deployed VMs (VMs in Library are not counted)Custom Quota (to support quota points from VMM 2008 R2)
