Tiivistelmä
The objective of this thesis was to create a private cloud with Microsoft System Center 2016. The practical part was implemented in a virtual lab environment. Additional software such as Microsoft Azure Pack: Portal and API Express was used for end users to interact with the private cloud over a web browser.
A private cloud environment consists of four virtual machines, where every of it has a specific role in the environment. Domain Controller is responsible for Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, SQL, SAN and SC VMM. RemoteDG is a server that has Remote Desktop Gate-way feature installed. While rest of last two virtual machines (Hyper-V01 and Hyper-V02) are Hyper-V servers and configured to work as a failover cluster to provide high availability.
The main findings of the study were to implement a private cloud with System Center 2016 in a virtual lab environment. The study showed that in order to implement a private cloud the knowledge of cloud computing, networking and fabric was required (where fabric implies a private cloud resources such as network, storage, servers and clusters). This private cloud was successfully implemented in a virtual lab environment.
