In theory building your application for a virtual platform like Amazon or Google is more efficient from the algorithmic perspective.

However, as VMWARE has proven, a solution that supports current enterprise applications without change was much more successful than revolutionary approaches.

While vCloud is just a set of standards now, It is possible to implement a cloud based solution to run complex, real life enterprise apps and enjoy the benefits of all worlds.

At my company ( http://www.itstructure.com ) we are doing just that.After solving Security,Networking,Storage and multiple machines setup problems, one gets a pretty cool cloud based enterprise environments.

The core of virtualization is in the abstraction if provides between hardware and software. Taking it to the cloud is the next logical step.
