In the thesis the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), which is a type of cloud computing, and private clouds are introduced. Besides that, a private cloud is established using the Microsoft System Center 2012 Software (SC2012). First the cloud computing, its properties and services are overviewed. Then the range of Infrastructure as a Service is illustrated on a practical example. The description of the properties, structure and security of the private cloud follows. Microsoft System Center 2012 software package is used to set up a private cloud. All the functions of its individual programs are described. In the final part the whole procedure is shown in practice. It starts with the proper preparation of the computer in order to establish the private cloud through the SC2012 components. The Virtual Machine Manager (VMM), which is the basis for the private cloud, is used to show how to manage the private cloud using libraries, templates and profiles. Orchestrator Program is used to present the practical examples of automation. The possibilities of monitoring other components of the private cloud using the Operations Manager are also examined.
