My understanding is Azul's solution is JVM-only.
The "generic" VM solution allows different flavors of guest VMs that can host legacy apps.

Good point. The Azul stuff is pretty cool, and if I understand you, it sounds like it is now more or less multi-tenantizable?
Given that there are providers out there basing cloud-ish offerings (by which I mean mostly automated provisioning, no long-term contracts, and capacity-based pricing) on tech from Xen, 3tera, VirtualIron, Sun, and Msft (did I miss any?), I'm wondering why there is no provider offering an Azul-based service? For that matter, why is there no provider offering z/os based service? Wouldn't that be a pretty cheap way to get thousands of lamp stacks online?

commodity boxes do not
provide that many such 'smaller units'. That is the problem Azul
(http://www.azulsystems.com) solves by packing in excess of 760 compute
units (and equal number of GB) in one box and have its specialized
software (OS) control allocation of those units on demand and by policy.
