A new term has cropped up - Internal Cloud - which replaces the term
Private Cloud. But whatever you call it, users are still peeling away
the layers of the onion to understand exactly what a cloud environment
means in terms of IT capabilities as well as benefits for users.
As
expected, it's a lot more complex than just hosting a virtual machine
on a server and sooner or later, we have to start being more specific
about what a cloud service is and what it isn't (today, almost every
online/web service is being called a cloud service and that's just
going to add to the confusion and potentially stall or derial a very
promising technology.
