Citrix took another step onto cloud, with their acquision of cloud.com. It seemed a natural fit with their current current base.  The terms of acquisition were not disclosed. Could.com has organized about 60 large-scaled cloud web hosting a lot of which are built on XenServer around the U.S.A., Asia and Indonesia, so it seems a natural fit.  It seems Citirx was looking for something after VMware’s launch of open cloud developing platform  (http://www.cloudfoundry.com/).

We will see how rest of the industry react.
