cost-effective and agile datacenter services. With the introduction of

cloud computing, IT organizations now have a blueprint to provide
capabilities such as self-service, chargeback, resource pooling, and

or business units to better prioritize IT spend.

FastTrack partner hardware configurations (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/servercloud/private-cloud/hyperv-cloud-fast-track.aspx).
