I'm going to blow your mind here....the 'cloud' is just two or three data centres with replication turned on. It's mostly a buzz word to charge a bit more

    Eh, it's a bit more than that. I work on a private cloud, the implications of it being a cloud versus traditional bare metal or virtualization platforms are around the APIs, quick spin up/down cycles, fully integrated recovery, imaging and remote console systems, integration with automated deployment platforms and others. It's not just a buzz word.

    Most of that's on any half decent commercial server. You're right there's definitely some differences though.

    I actually worked on our corporate move from private servers (main, backup and dr) to Azure cloud which had the only two server locations (melb and Sydney) and the mythology around cloud seemed a bit much
