You just were hired by a Venture Capital Firm to work with a start-up cloud provider, They are mostly programmers and want you to run the data center. The CTO

asks you in three sentences are less How you would set up the resources in the Data Center. What is the BEST reply We will implement as much hardware, OS, and Networking devices that we can. I know it may cost more in terms of power, however, it will pay for itself in the future. We will have to deploy both physical and virtualized IT resources. The base infrastructure will consist of only the HW, SW, Networkings that needed to support the virtualized systems and platforms and reducing known cost, creating a Fail Torrence and Load Balance System. This will allow us to operate 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. We should hire a consulting firm and laaS provider so I can learn how to do this for us in the future.
