  The Private Cloud Solution Hub is LIVE!
  Thomas W Shinder - MSFT Thursday, October 6, 2011 2:14 PM

  Private Cloud fans - I wanted to let you know that the Private Cloud Solution Hub is now LIVE!

  At the Private Cloud Solution Hub you can find the latest information on Private Cloud and Private Cloud architecture. At the Private Cloud Solution Hub you'll find the following:

  • Featured articles at the top of the page - we'll rotate articles in and out and provide you a fresh featured article once a week
  • The Library! The library is organized under a collection of tabs. At this time most of the content is focused on Private Cloud architecture. As we get closer to the release of Windows 8 and System Center 2012 wave of products, we'll start to tie together the entire story from business perspective, to architecture, to design and then to deployment - keep a close eye on the library as we'll continue to improve it on a monthly basis
  • The Private Cloud Community section - here you'll find a number of community resources you can use to connect with Microsoft and other people in the community to share you ideas and ask questions about Private Cloud
  • The Private Cloud Blog Roll - here's your "one stop shop" for a list of blogs for products and technologies that power the Microsoft Private Cloud

  We hope that you like the Private Cloud Solution Hub! If you have any suggestions for things that you would like to see in the Private Cloud Solution Hub or have ideas for improvement, let us know! You can write to me at tomsh@microsoft.com and I'll share with my team your ideas and see how we can get them realized in the Hub.

  Thanks!

  Welcome to the Private Cloud Computing Forum!
  Thomas W Shinder - MSFT Thursday, August 25, 2011 4:48 PM

  Welcome Private Cloud community! This is the Private Cloud computing forum on the TechNet forums.

  The purpose of this forum is to provide a place where IT Architects and IT Pros can talk about issues related to Private Cloud. The goal is to enable the Private Cloud community to share ideas, architectures, plans, lessons learned, and even opinions about Private Cloud. While you are welcome to focus on the Microsoft Private Cloud solutions, the discussion does not need to be limited to the Microsoft Private Cloud. For example, there are many cross-cutting issues in Private Cloud, such as security and identity management.

  If you have questions about Private Cloud, this is the place to ask! However, if you have specific questions about products or technologies that participate in your Private Cloud solutions, the best place to get those answers will be in the forums for that particular product or technology.

  I'm looking forward to many interesting discussions and lessons to be learned. We just at the beginning of the cloud movement - get in on the first floor and participate in the Private Cloud community today!

  Thanks!

  Tom

  Welcome to the Software as a Service Forum
  Thomas W Shinder - MSFT Thursday, August 25, 2011 4:58 PM

  Welcome Cloud community! This is the Software as a Service (SaaS) forum on the TechNet forums.

  The purpose of this forum is to provide a place where IT Architects and IT Pros can talk about issues related to SaaS. The goal is to enable the Cloud community to share ideas, architectures, plans, lessons learned, and even opinions about SaaS. While you are welcome to focus on the Microsoft SaaS solutions, the discussion does not need to be limited to Microsoft SaaS offerings. For example, there are many cross-cutting issues in SaaS, such as security and identity management.

  If you have questions about SaaS, this is the place to ask! However, if you have specific questions about products or technologies that participate in a specific SaaS solution, the best place to get those answers will be in the forums for that particular product or technology.

  I'm looking forward to many interesting discussions and lessons to be learned. We just at the beginning of the cloud movement - get in on the ground floor and participate in the Private Cloud community today!

  Thanks!
