In the first half hour of the Infrastructure for Private Clouds workshop at last week’s Interop Las Vegas I focused on business aspects of private cloud design: defining the customers, the services, and the level of self-service you’ll offer to your customers.

Nick Martin published a great summary of these topics @ SearchServerVirtualization; I couldn’t have done it better myself (they want to get your email address, but this article is definitely worth it).

Missed the workshop? No problem:

• I’ll be back @ Interop New York 2014;
• I had a longer presentation covering business- and high-level technical aspects of cloud building @ PLNOG (watch the video);
• The Interop workshop was very similar to the Designing Private Cloud Infrastructure webinar (buy the recording);
• Finally, if you need more details, you can buy the whole bundle of cloud-related webinars or the webinar subscription.
