Dreamforce may be right around the corner, but before Benioff and Metallica dominate the news cycle, here’s a look at this week’s cloud news stories: Pain in the Private Cloud SearchCloudComputing.com’s Carl Brooks wrote an interesting post earlier this week about how two IT vendors reworked their own internal IT departments — and quickly learned the problems and confusion inherent with private cloud architecture.
