VMware and Project Redwood

VMware at VMWorld this year are possibly going to make a big thing about project Redwood there Cloud computing solution based around Lab Manager and the vCenter Orchestrator, and yes this on the surface sounds like a great idea.

But my great worry is as I have mentioned before, is this not a push too far yes at present VMware has the best product to run a Cloud on, but how can they continue to just add more cost to the offering given the cost of either of the main competitors are using very cost effective hypervisers (free). Yes I know that there is a greater cost in development on the other hypervisers but as time passes there will be far more tools to enable fast deployment and better management it the cost of the underlying technology that i can't see the big cloud providers running with.
