Our baseline wrt cloud is: „There is no cloud, it’s just some other dude’s computer, in that dude’s data center!“. No matter how that thing is called (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and no matter how it is provisioned (SW defined network/storage), at the end of the day there is an infrastructure underneath. And the through-out understanding of the application and it’s utilization of that infrastructure is what makes the performance, and the lack there of, respectively. Inter-connectivity, latency and through-put do still matter – even more, in a ‚cloud environment‘ then in a pure on premises deployment. We have experience in a number of cloud environments – the well-know, and the ’not so well-known‘, and with a number of virtualization technologies (like PowerVM, KVM and VMWare).
