When is a VMware cloud a vCloud? Let the API wars begin
Pop Quiz: If your favourite hosting provider launches a cloud service that supports VMware vSphere and is part of the VMware vCloud initiative, are they providing you with the rich vCloud functionality VMware is touting at VMworld this week?
The answer is no, because vCloud hasn’t been delivered yet and probably won’t be until the first half of 2010. If you answered yes, don’t feel too bad because VMware, in its efforts to prepare the market for vCloud, has made the current state very confusing.
