For those wondering what Microsoft has up its sleeve, in terms of its “private-cloud” strategy, there’s a new resource worth tracking:
The company’s private-cloud blog.
The new blog — which I discovered via another blog (Microsoft’s increasingly prolific Nexus System Center blog) — so far seems to be little more than a site for the
Dynamic Data Alliance, a group for Microsoft hosting partners that are building around Microsoft’s Dynamic Datacenter Toolkit for Hosters.
But here’s how Jeff Wettlaufer, Senior Technical Product Manager for System Center, described the new blog:
“Hey everyone, I just had a chat with our friends over in the Private Cloud Computing Team, and they wanted to let all of you know they now have a team blog. Their blog is intended to be a hub to highlight their partners, customers and internal Microsoft personalities; as well as to promote announcements related to the Dynamic Data Center Toolkits for Hosters & Enterprises, and the Dynamic Data Center Alliance.”
