EMC (Tucci) proposes that by Virtualizing the Data Center we are converting the traditional data center into an internal cloud, ahhhh vCloud 
…. Could this picture be anymore cloudy?
…. Could this picture be anymore cloudy?I see the thought process and vision here but will the average end user comprehend this?
I fully expect someone to ask me next week if they can vMotion from their internal cloud (legacy vMware farm) to the EMC AtmosSphere.
Ohhhh my, now we have a slide federating the private and public cloud, can’t wait to fill out that qualifier.

Final thought, has EMC/VMware decided to prefix all terms with "v" (e.g. – vSphere) while Microsoft has decided to use the letter "v" as a suffix (e.g. – Hyper-V)?
