The problem with putting up such a cloud is not the cost of acquisition of the hardware, rather the software. I have looked into the requirements for putting up a modest size cloud solution to rent out in less than year long increments. Hardware, doable, but until IBM i, and AIX and more importantly the appropriate Licensed Program Products can be leased from IBM on a short term basis, the cost recovery model falls apart quickly.

Having spoken to some folks at IBM about the situation I am not holding my breath that a licensing model that makes this type of service viable is imminent in any way.
