It is instructive to recap the meaning of moving to the cloud model and the core tenets of a cloud as was laid out in the keynote by Brad Anderson at MMS, and then take a look at how this is done with Windows Server 2012 and System Center 2012 SP1.

The workloads could be deployed on infrastructure that is on a customer�s premises, or on their partners� premises but completely controlled and managed by the customer. That is a �private� cloud.
