[ Cloud Computing ] Re: Cloud for Financial Sectors

I've worked with a large financial customer this year who built a
variable compute capacity system, many others are in the process of
doing the same. I guess the problem many of "you" are struggling with
is force fitting this into the definition of a cloud, or hoping it is
so that you can use their success as reference points.

If you take a row of servers, either build-your-own or buy something
like an IBM iDataPlex server or a DELL DCS build, and use it as a
cloud types environment into which you offer a range of applications
and images which can be provisioned dynamically and on-demand, is it a
cloud or not? If it is, then there are loads doing this in the
financial sector. If not, that perhaps you could help me understand
your definition of cloud computing.
