Sorry - had a reply I was working on but a shiny object took away my attentionŠ
In short, the two workload story is important & differentiates us from OpenStack. Perhaps not quite the case with Red Hat's newer offerings but they are still working on that & it's commercial only though OpenStack is mixed into it. As for security - with private clouds, you have control over your data (assuming it's in your four walls.) For uptime & availability, can talk about stateless management servers & horizontally scaling them. Had some other thoughts that aren't coming to me again but thought I'D shoot this out as quickly as possible.
