There are many "soft" sides to data, and while virtualization is rather new (outside of the mainframe arena) its by far not the weakest link...

I was hoping for the latter so as people would start to take the issue seriously. Anyway the management layer is certainly the soft underbelly of cloud computing... it needs to be well (which is to say, better) protected.
