The document discusses optimizing SQL Server for private cloud environments. It identifies four key drivers for private clouds: resource pooling, elasticity, self-service, and control & customization. For each driver, it outlines benefits and key steps. Resource pooling allows consolidation of databases to reduce costs and improve utilization. Elasticity permits scaling resources efficiently to meet changing demand. Self-service enables automated deployment of resources on demand. Control & customization enforces standardization and policies while providing usage reporting.
