I understand that SQL Azure is a service and I can’t run and manage SQL Azure in my own datacenter. How can Microsoft help me build a private cloud?
Microsoft currently offers the Dynamic Infrastructure Toolkit for Hosters which enables our hosting partners to build private clouds (including higher server utilization via a virtualization fabric, more automated management, and self-service provisioning portals) by leveraging Hyper-V, Live Migration, SQL Server 2008 R2, and System Center Virtual Machine Manager. In 2010, Microsoft will release a version of Dynamic Infrastructure Toolkit for Enterprises to enable customers to deploy private clouds within their datacenters. With future releases of SQL Server, System Center, and Hyper-V, Microsoft will incorporate the innovations from SQL Azure. So overtime, our customers and hosting partners will be able to build private clouds based on the same technologies that underlie SQL Azure.
