Hello.
A bit of background.
We run a small in house data center: about 20 virtualized servers (Debian Lenny, Windows 2003, Windows xp and Windows 7 machines), in a Citrix Xen pool running on 3 host servers and a SAN, plus a few standalone machines running legacy or specialized software that can't be vritualized.
There is a big push everywhere now to move to cloud so we considering Ubuntu Cloud.
I was wondering what are the pros / cons of running virtualized pool vs cloud to run all those machines?
Thank you
