Our goal right now is to educate MSPs and help them with clients that currently need to upgrade their infrastructures. Private cloud computing is based up replacement cycles of the MSP's client infrastructures. We see this a 5 five year cycle for a 40%-50% adoption rate. So I should say "interest" is what I was referencing demand to, although demand is definitely increase as MSPs are educated on how private cloud will help them and their clients, and at the end of the day they really want to figure out the best way to profit form the cloud.

At gCLOUD3, we believe that there is not a cloud bubble, but more of a bottle neck, due to the demand being higher than the adoption rate currently. The other issue right now, is that MSPs are trying to figure out how to make money with cloud products. The main issue with most MSPs is how can I transition my client over to a private cloud, save them money and/or provide more value. Cloud offerings are value propositions to the clients, to increase something, such as productivity, profitibility, etc. The issue is that especially private clouds, are a long term solution, and mosts MSPs are use to trying to provide a short term fix on the hardware and software front, because their core is support, not hardware or software sales. At the end of the day, it is educating MSPs properly that will allow for the adoption of cloud.

I'd start to worry that Joe and Co. weren’t paying attention if they didn’t mention it... If you and the other critics can do it better than start your own sites, otherwise quit being a troll and appreciate the fact that someone is out there providing this information in the first place. @Joe, I think anyone with a brain realizes that some industry players produce more news than others. Your coverage is fair and usually spot on...although I disagree with Cloud Computing being hype. :) Off my pedestal and back to shoveling snow... @MSP, Why wouldn’t this site mention a major release from a major MSP platform?
