Abstract: Along with the progress of science and technology, server performance and specifications become more and more powerful. Coupled with the rise of the cloud and virtualization technology, this study would like to realize that the efficiency of server managements introduces IaaS and PaaS to replace with the traditional physical server. In this study, we adopt a single physical server to execute multiple virtual hosts to simulate the entire system of an enterprise via cloud platforms. During the implementation, this study takes advantage of VMware workstations on a Windows server 2012 to build a private cloud architecture. Subsequently, we take the advantage of cloud computing to analyze the hardware performance, energy consumption and building cost to validate the feasibility of transferring a traditional infrastructure to a cloud computing platform. Eventually, the experiment results indicate that our proposal indeed greatly improves the utilization of the server devices and hardware and also reduces the expansion of the equipment and energy consumption.
