Private Digital Clouds

EMC, Cisco and VMware have got together and created the privatecloud.com website which bills itself as the the industry destination for news, resources, and conversation on enterprise cloud computing.

So does this mean that private clouds equals enterrprise cloud computing?  Well I am not sure about that but they are certainly part of the current picture.  The website goes on to explain;

"The private cloud is rapidly becoming the preferred enterprise cloud model, as IT organizations learn how data center virtualization gives them the power to achieve new levels of efficiency, control, and choice. Visit privatecloud.com to understand and learn to how to use this dynamic model of enterprise computing to help organizations of all sizes draw unprecedented value from IT investments and information assets"

Setting up the website is an interestiing move by the three companies to gain some thought leadership.

What do you think? Are private clouds going to be leading the move to enterprise cloud computing?
