All done out of India too?  (sorry, I worked for an Indian IT outsouring company for more than 5 years. Their understanding of VMS was shall we say less than optimal - yes I realise the irony of that statement also points the finger at myself!)

And VMS then heads down the path of yet another commodity platform

The question still remains, just what market segment is VMS trying to establish itself in?

All we need now is a decent scripting language and we can move into the automation space also

What was that need for a VMS cluster in a cloud again?
