Privatecloud.com is a joint effort between the VCE coalition to create a portal into the industry-wide private cloud discussion. If you've been trying to follow all the different conversations, you know how hard it can be.
We've invested some editorial resources in assembling the best discussions and content, and putting it all in one place.
Yes, you'll see the collective views of EMC, Cisco and VMware on the topic, but you'll also get a healthy dose of alternative points of view as well. I've written a number of pieces for the site, as have others.
And, just to set expectations, we're not going to attempt to be a tech-detail-heavy site (others cover those angles far better); instead, we're going to try and focus on how people are using the technology, rather than the technology itself.
If you've got a moment, please drop by www.privatecloud.com and let us know your thoughts.
Thanks!
Positioning "private cloud" as "enterprise cloud computing" and thus implying that "public" cloud is somehow not "enterprise ready" is disingenuous at best.

Hi Sam
I'm just going by what all those big-time enterprises tell me day-in and day out. I meet them every day.
After all, we can have our opinions, but ultimately it's the people with checkbooks who decide.
And, as we speak, it's pretty unanimous -- for now!
