CohesiveFT (http://www.cohesiveft.com) today announced it supports Virtual Iron servers via its Elastic Server web-based factory. If you're not familiar with CohensiveFT and you do software development, I encourage you to look at Elastic Server. It functions as an automated "factory" that allows IT professionals to assemble, deploy, and manage virtual servers (i.e., virtual appliances) using a simple point-and-click interface.

What makes this interesting is you can create a server once, and deploy it to any platform you want. This simplifies deployments and makes your application agnostic as to where it is deployed. If you're thinking about leveraging public clouds, you should consider this.

They also have a very interesting product called VPN-Cubed that extends your network into public clouds.
