Whomever all sides buy the most from really wins. Whether Azure on the cloud wins or Windows 2008 on vSphere wins, they'll need hardware to run it on..

And anyways, even cloud providers that will ultimately fail (or succeed) have already bought the hardware long before that will be known — some percentage of OEM profits get locked in before the eventual outcome will even be known :-)

No doubt the advances are fast and furious. I'm sure solutions like your cloud storage will help sell commodity hardware and network storage devices as organizations decide to make their own dynamic cloud - across both hosted and internal infrastructure. Sajai,

The cloud wave is happening faster than other IT transformations. IMO the OEMs are going to be selling product for many more years - so its not that everything in the enterprise is going into the public cloud in 3 or 5 years. The private cloudhttp://blog.parascale.com/?p=321) is still going to be an opportunity for OEMs (and cloud storage startups like ParaScale). And there is certainly a symbiosis between public and private clouds -- burstable capacity (like in networking) is what this implies for compute and storage.
