- TELEMATIC SERVICES OVER PRIVATE CLOUDS IN VIRTUALIZED AND DISTRIBUTED PLATFORMSSepEn la actualidad, el modelo para proporcionar servicios basados en alojar cada aplicación en un servidor físico no es el modelo óptimo, ya que los avances tecnológicos tanto en hardware como en software hacen que se produzca un desaprovechamiento de los recursos ofrecidos. Por este motivo, este trabajo presenta un nuevo modelo basado en un clúster de servidores con sistema de ficheros distribuido en red y virtualización de sistemas operativos que mejora la utilización de los recursos disponibles. Esta nueva arquitectura ofrece una nube privada que simplifica la gestión de los servicios y aporta una disminución del coste de mantenimiento, además de añadir flexibilidad, dinamismo y escalabilidad al sistema.
