		<description><![CDATA[Back in September, 2009, I had written a post with a quick overview of what a private cloud (or infrastructure) looks like and some basic costs and information, including why it is a great product (I am biased). Since then, Dell has retired the PE2900III model server and items change, this is an update for <a href="http://blogs.iphouse.net/mike/2010/02/example-cost-virtual-private-cloud-updated/" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>
