The Private Cloud: Amazon, Google, ...and You!

Public clouds like Amazon EC2 and Google AppEngine have revolutionized computing and application development. But what if you already have a bunch of servers in an air-conditioned room sucking City Power like angry beavers and you want to take advantage of the economies of scale and the efficiency of virtualization that make the big clouds work, but do it in your own data center? It's not trivial, but you can host a private cloud in your own data center and your organization can benefit from transitioning your internal development to a PaaS or SaaS architecture. This session will be an end-to-end outline of creating a private cloud.
