A complete private cloud consists of both virtualization and cloud-management capabilities. These capabilities help deliver services that scale massively and can be created and destroyed at will. But deploying a private cloud isn’t easy. Even expensive proprietary private clouds can take weeks to install and configure, and require armies of consultants to deploy and maintain. Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure, a comprehensive solution for private IaaSclouds, solves the pain of private cloud deployments. In this session, learn how your peers are using open source technologies to quickly create a working, private cloud.

11:15 AM — 11:55 AM
