Abstract

This paper focuses on the design consideration for private cloud deployment model in academic environment for authors’ institution. Conceptual benefits of deploying private cloud system is to provide virtualized computing resources to users rather than accessing physical computing resources. The users of the academic cloud will consist of faculties and students in the institution and they would access computing resource as they need to utilize elastically and flexibly on demand. For deployment model for academic cloud environment, we choose an open source software platform “CloudStack” that pools computing resources to build private cloud as well as to manage the network, storage, and compute nodes for cloud Infrastructure. This system is expected to increase the efficient usage of computing resources, utilization of servers and decreasing the power consumption for physical machines by accessing virtual machines from cloud servers. Another goal is to minimize the operation and maintenance cost for computing resources.
