Building an Internal Cloud for IT Support Organis ations: A Preview

Abstract

We design the most of our computing environment as a centralized datacentre since our organization’s creation. Users of various development projects are deploying their services and connecting remotely to the datacentre resources from all the stations of NIC. Currently these servers are mostly underutilized due to the static conventional approches using for accessing or using of these resources. So, we build up and prototyped a private cloud system called NIC(NICInternalCloud) to leverage the benifits of Cloud environment and optimal usage of centralized resources. For this system we adopted a combination of various techniques from open source software community. The User base consist of Developers, Web and Database admins, Service Providers and Cloud users from variuos projects of NIC. We can optimize the resource usage by customizing the user based template services on the virtualized infrastructure. It will also increases the flexibilty of the managing and maintainance of the operations like archieving, disaster recovery and scaling of resources. In this paper, we describe the design and analysis of implementing the private cloud environments at NIC and similar organizations.
