Building Private Clouds With Hyper-V Cloud and the Windows Server Platform
Windows Server 2008 R2, Microsoft’s server platform, already delivers comprehensive virtualization and management capabilities through Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V. These technologies, along with Microsoft System Center, provide the components organizations need to implement private clouds. With the new Hyper-V Cloud Fast Track program, Microsoft and its partners will deliver a broad choice of predefined, validated configurations for private cloud deployments, comprising compute, storage, networking resources, virtualization and management software. These programs and offerings help reduce the risk and increase the speed of private cloud deployments.

Private Cloud Solutions : Hyper-V Cloud Deployment Guides
Private cloud is the implementation of cloud services on resources that are dedicated to your organization, whether they exist on-premises or off-premises with the benefits of public cloud computing—including self-service, scalability, and elasticity and the additional control and customization.
Build your own private cloud and you will have a dynamic, virtualized infrastructure with advantages including:
- Pools of compute resources
- Automated management
- High-availability
- Scale-out capabilities
- Multi-tenancy
- Self-service provisioning
