More and more customers, from small companies up to enterprises, are beginning to use the cloud for parts of their IT infrastructure. This is a trend that is likely to accelerate as people become more comfortable with the idea of cloud computing. Some of these companies are going to build their own clouds (private clouds), some are leveraging public cloud infrastructure, and the majority will end up with a mixture of both—a hybrid cloud approach.

The customers who use Linux in their datacenters today have many rigorous requirements for their internal IT infrastructure. To make the move to cloud computing, these customers will expect the same quality of service (reliability, availability, security, serviceability) from their chosen Cloud Service Providers as they do from their own IT departments today.
