Ilya: This is the reality for the VAST majority of enterprises. Keep in mind just how pervasive VMware is in the enterprise datacenter. Couple that with the fact that the majority of enterprise workloads aren't quite ready for cloud-style deployment patterns and you start to realize that what you are building is what most of enterprise folks will need - you just happen to be on the leading edge. Greenfield cloud-style deployment patterns that folks like Netflix and Zynga use are compelling, and awesome - and are the way of the future, but that doesn't deal with the currently installed base of applications that simply aren't optimized for those deployment patterns. That doesn't mean that cloud management solutions can't be utilized, but it's a different story. If you are interested, we can pitch a presentation together. We can work on it offline if you wish. --David
