Private cloud hosting is one of the topmost services in the cloud computing sector that offers similar advantages as the public cloud and these include scalability and self-service via an organized proprietary architecture. Private cloud hosting is now the easiest way of deploying and executing cloud computing. The cloud resources, such as servers and storage, are around and under operation by third-party cloud service providers and provided through the Internet.

Microsoft Private Cloud
Although Microsoft entered the cloud and virtualization arena a little later than the others, the software pioneer has spent substantial resources to meet up and provide groundbreaking experience to remove some of the most common mistakes that service providers in this sector have made so far. Microsoft’s private cloud software is part of the System Center 2012 R2. This System Center while delivering different products under one roof also includes services such as operations management, endpoint protection, data protection manager, and virtual machine manager. Even though the components in the package don’t go hand-in-hand with every feature when compared to other services, the Single SKU layout really makes an exception when it comes to services, such as licensing and purchasing, a lot easier. Microsoft’s System Center encourages the support and mainly manage windows 12 Hyper-V hosts as well as third-party Hyper voices to cater toward Citrix and VM Ware. However, KVM is an important exception that is not being offered at this point in time. Now since the hypervisors are compatible, the present lack of the involvement of active third-party network providers is worth noting as it has resulted in gathering fewer customers.

OpenStack Private Cloud
OpenStack is the latest open source cloud operating option that is in trend today. It has the capability to manage networking, storage, and computing and provide these services in a convenient way. Moreover, this feature is limited to the dashboard. Compared to VM Ware and Microsoft, OpenStack doesn’t have a hypervisor of its own.

OpenStack is compatible with VMware ESXi, Microsoft’s Hyper-V, and Citrus Xen; however, it is often commonly employed with KVM which is an open source cloud computing solution too. Nowadays, OpenStack APIs are most likely to encourage more implementation when it comes to private cloud h0sting.

OpenStack supports a wide variety of hardware and software due to its distinct nature of being open source private cloud hosting service. This is apt for a flexible framework that mainly supports the age-old tradition as well as the latest hardware platforms. In the present world where there are numerous community developers and the presence of regular user feedback, the hassles of installation and operation have reduced more than you can possibly imagine. OpenStack is primarily focused on the cloud platform and does not comprise of additional features that reduce complex executions.
