Cloud interoperability with Deltacloud
Cloud interoperability--the ability to abstract the programmatic differences from one cloud to another--is a key to adoption. If we assume that some percentage of private compute clouds will be based on virtualization, and we know that a large percentage of public clouds already are, then the ability to move among virtual machines is a critical function in this regard.
