HAVC-II - Idiap Private Cloud (Technical Inside-Out)

Virtualizing resources – servers, storage, networks – is now part of every IT departments life. The benefits of virtualization no longer need to be demonstrated and, when played upon in a large scale, provide both the saddle and spurs with which the Cloud mantra has been riding towards its success. This document shall describe how Idiap took advantage of its infrastructure to build its own virtualization farm, which shall (shamelessly) be referred to as Idiap Private Cloud.
