Private cloud computing enables you to consolidate diverse enterprise systems into one that is cloud-based and can be accessed by end-users seamlessly, regardless of their location or changes in overall demand. Expert authors Steve Smoot and Nam K. Tan distill their years of networking experience to describe how to build enterprise networks to create a private cloud. With their techniques you'll create cost-saving designs and increase the flexibility of your enterprise, while maintaining the security and control of an internal network.

A new way to look at existing technology.

This book covered the standard SAN, LAN, WAN, and virtual systems. We have the standard diagrams of networking layers and protocols. There are plenty of standard diagrams that anyone familiar with computers and networking can understand. What is new is the addition of some new terms, such as FAIS, STP, etc. There are important notes; instead of being in the margins or footnotes, they are in square boxes placed where they are important to the reader. This is a textbook, so you will have a textbook layout with the full definition of terms at the end of each chapter. Essentially, this is not really about the technology but how it can best be tweaked and used.
