Had a very informed chat with one of the smaller London based providers and they use VMWare vCloud to allow multi-tenancy (another buzzword) on a large physical cluster. It seems that each "tenant" gets what they perceive to be a personal VMWare virtual cluster and they can treat it as they like and manage it more or less as a real VMWare cluster, minus the hardware aggravations. Firewalling is achieved at the hypervisor level using vShield Edge to give a customer managed border firewall. It's still sodding expensive, but at least it defines what I want (at least in functionality) from a cloud provider. Therefore I can at least get some quotes on an equal and informed footing for that particular solution. And it does not require a custom build as one of the bigger hosting companies offered (eg "You need firewalling? OK, we can add in a physical box, extra dosh, consultancy fees etc"...)
