    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Cloud computing is seen as one of top 10 disruptive changes in IT for the next decade by leading research analysts. Consequently, enterprises are starting to investigate the effect it will have on the strategic direction of their businesses and technology stacks. Because of the disruptive nature of the paradigm shift introduced by it, as well as the strategic impact thereof, it is necessary that a structured approach with regard to risk, value and operational cost is followed with the decision on its relevance, as well as the selection of a platform if needed. The purpose of this thesis is to provide a reference model and its associating framework that can be used to evaluate private cloud management platforms, as well as the technologies associated with it.
