Interesting thoughts about the global100 wanting to roll their own clouds. And you nailed 2 key reasons 1) Security, privacy: The cloud storage model presents key cost advantages, but some of the data one wants it in a private cloud, not outside the company firewall 2)All storage clouds don't need to be the same. It is easy to tune individual nodes in the cloud - CPU, memory, no of disk drives, type and size of disk drives, so that the cloud can be tuned for various applications - streaming video, vs deep document archives with very "cold" data. Like Parascale, I am sure there will be many options for customers in the near future, in software and technology to enable enterprises and service providers to tune storage clouds for different kinds of applications.

Why would users worry about a transparent cloud? why would they care about where or how, inside the cloud, their data gets stored, as long as there is a convenient and reliable way to access it? Not requiring to control, on the users' part, the location and format is one of the things why cloud is being hyped. I dont know about transparency.
