I know exactly where my colo is. I know exactly where my physical servers are. If I run a private cloud on those servers and provision stuff there, I'll still know exactly where my colo is and I'll still know where my "cloud" infrastructure is deployed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing#Private_cloud) Even that wiki page doesn't quite go far enough in defining cloud, at least compared to stuff people sell as "cloud" (as I said, cloud is a marketing term, not an engineering one. Its accuracy is negligible)-- Suresh Ramasubramanian (ops.lists () gmail com)
