Next, you’ll select the zone and the hardware configuration for your Storm Private Cloud parent. In this case, I’ve selected a server with two Intel Dual Xeon E5645 processors, ~16GB of RAM, and one internal SATA disk (without RAID).

Note:
Choosing a hardware configuration is always important, but don’t feel overwhelmed by this step. With our Private Cloud servers, we can move the virtual instances that reside on a parent server to any other parent server on your account, or to the public cloud, with just a few simple clicks of the mouse. Additionally, utilizing a disk array with redundancy (RAID 1, RAID 5, etc.) to protect against hardware failure is always suggested!

Next, we will add the server name to the Host Name field with a hostname for your Private Cloud parent. For example, privateparent01.domain.com. Then, click on the Create Server button.
