Glass Ceiling

“Pets orientated Cloud” intrinsically rigid

Client abstraction from actual VM management

Increasingly overhead intensiveNetworking provisioning

Storage management & growth

Hands-on “managed” VM builds

Liaison as 3rd party with hosted client’s clients

Protracted problem detection

Fault resolutions

De-centralised management issues
