    Define "cloud" and we can tell you what you might want to know. The term "cloud" is marketing speak and means something different to each person who uses it. Commented Sep 10, 2012 at 11:44
  • I thought saying openstack cloud would be enough of a definition of what we are implementing on. See openstack.org. Or are you requesting more info on the project? It's security tooling for our corporation. We currently run many hundreds of dedicated servers for security tools and are moving them to our corporations instantiation of openstack.

  • I edited question to hopefully make it better and remove the 'marketing' concern. My issue is selecting the best tool for the job. I'm a rookie at stackexchange so don't quite have the hang of it. Commented Sep 10, 2012 at 13:12

    specifically the term "cloud" is nebulous and doesn't mean anything specific, it is marketing speak, you still haven't defined what actually qualifies something as a cloud application. Personally I know what I know what I think it means, I am sure it isn't what you think it means, given the question. Commented Sep 12, 2012 at 2:03
  • "the term 'cloud' is nebulous" - good one! It means virtual something and you should specify whether that "something" is software, operating-system, a single-machine, multi-machine-and-network, or something else. Commented Sep 12, 2012 at 4:05
