主权项

1. A method of initializing a transportable private cloud computing platform, the method comprising:
applying power to a power supply circuit of a transportable private cloud computing platform, which also includes a rack, an interface device, a plurality of servers, at least one cloud computing operating system, and at least one network switch; activating a graphical user interface on the interface device; utilizing the interface device to provide queries to a system administrator so that a particular cloud computing operating system may be selected from the at least one cloud computing operating systems; starting the selected cloud computing operating system that operates as a private cloud; utilizing the interface device to request required keys from a system administrator; initiating a cloud operating system virtualizer; utilizing the interface device to allow the system administrator to enter a IP range of addresses, each of the IP addresses representing one of the plurality of servers, to be integrated into the private cloud; locating and initializing, if not already initialized, each system administrator-selected server with the selected cloud computing operating system; incorporating physical resources of each server of the plurality of servers into the private cloud; utilizing the interface device to provide queries to the system administrator so that virtual server information is entered; and creating the virtual servers.
