Abstract: Are private clouds clouds? Or is the third-party business model inherent in what makes a cloud a cloud? As the FUD flies on both sides, everyone’s got a different opinion of what defines cloud computing. We’re going to see if we can get to the bottom of it, sitting public cloud providers across from private cloud toolmakers.
