How to build a private cloud platform?

BANGALORE, INDIA: Cloud computing has caught everyone's imagination, however the buzz is largely around using public cloud services.

Sure, the idea of having a repository of applications, storage or even computing power and the ability to ration these IT assets based on your requirement appeals to every CIO.

Who wouldn't want a so then-orchestrated IT infrastructure with fewer servers, automatic resource provisioning, and more savings. Now there's a lot of confusion on how to go about doing the same.
