Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track
 Eighteen months ago Microsoft launched a program called “Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track” (Fast Track) as a joint effort between Microsoft and its hardware partners, to deliver pre-configured private cloud solutions. There are now over 20 Microsoft-validated designs from 9 hardware partners that combine computing power, storage and networking, with Windows Server and System Center software. These Microsoft-validated designs are an excellent starting point for conversations with your customers about private cloud. Fast Track solutions can accelerate “time to value” for both you and your customers by reducing the complexity and risk of implementing a private cloud. The broad range of choice from hardware partners means that you have the flexibility to offer solutions using familiar hardware brands that can be tailored to your customers’ specific requirements. There are in-market solutions from Cisco, Dell, EMC, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, IBM, NEC and NetApp.
Please visit the Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track page to learn more about the program and its partners.
