Cloud means :

1- FOR SELLER - 

Renting the services (IAAS only, PASS , SAAS ) to the customer. These all services are the part of server which means a if a customer or user want to purchase a server on rent, he/she can purchase it in the form of services.

IAAS  = Only hardware on rent. (operating system and working software deployment, maintainence is user task)

PAAS = Inbuilt (operating system with IAAS service with full support and maintenance) .

software deployment and related maintenance is users task. 

SAAS = User is provided with the software services, so just need to use and need not to take any headache. just use the service.

A very big question before starting a practical implementation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~How to start with practical~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So read these instruction and follow these steps.

As cloud means internet + virtualization. Private cloud means internal network + virtualization we have to arrange some computer. then we have to establish a network between all and use virtualization.

Phase 1 - Select a service for setting up private cloud.

There are three services 

1- IAAS - Providers are - Amazon Web Services, Eucalyptus services, Rackspace services (openstack)

2- PASS - Providers are - Amazon Web Services, Windows Azure, Rackspace services (openstack)

3- SAAS - Providers are - Oracle, SAP, salesforce, Microsoft, openstack etc...

You can read in more detail here :

The finest service provider is Openstack and its latest version is Openstack Juno which comes with Ubuntu server 14.04 edition.

Phase 2 - Instead of arranging number of computers, Arrange one PC with virtulization support and use a virtualization software. 

1- Host PC/Laptop configuration -         Processor AMD-V or Intel VT- enabled (64 bit) 

                                                                    Clock Speed at least 2.10  GHz.

                                                                    Ram at least 4 Gb.

                                                                    Hard Disk - Sata enabled.

                                                                    RPM - atleast 7200, 5400(may be granted).

                                                                    Host OS - Any win 7, 8 ubuntu. 

2- Download Virtualization Software -   Either vmware, virtual box..etc 

Phase 3-  Download ubuntu server 14.04 (64 bit).iso file.

                                                                                                                 To be Continued...
