“What do you wish to monitor?”, is often my response when someone states they need to monitor the virtual environment. Monitoring however becomes much more of an issue when you enter the cloud.

Virtualizing from an Island?
I was recently on an island and it got me thinking of how would I move my company to the island. The company services people around the world, but would also service local to the island.
