Combining Java (SpringSource) and virtualization (VMWare) to do private clouds. Requires a "new platform," of course – and the big question (on VMWare's path to become the next Microsoft, or IBM) is around parts of the stack VMWare doesn't own: an operating system, networking gear, servers, storage, services – "To ensure that the new generation of applications takes full advantage of virtualized and cloud infrastructure, a new cloud application platform is required. The platform combines an application framework that enhances developer productivity and ensures application portability with comprehensive integrated platform services that speed and optimize deployment. Applications built according to this new model will be portable across heterogeneous cloud environments and, when running on VMware-enabled clouds, will be able to intelligently share information with underlying infrastructure to maximize application performance, quality of service and infrastructure utilization." - VMware Plans New 'Cloud' Push – WSJ.com
