WaveMaker started 2009 staring into the abyss and ended the year on top of

cloud exchanges won't work."
I've done some thinking and writing on the topic, and it's easy to see Haff's
point: Interoperability, security, and inertia threaten to derail this new
concept before it starts.
Shortcomings of the Exchange Mode... (more)

RightScale, the cloud manager, plans to support Windows Azure and let
customers deploy RightScale-managed applications and take advantage of
