Build, operate and transfer. The lifecycle behind Acadia. Either directly or through partners Acadia will provide customers the ability to have a Vblock infrastructure for their workloads built, put into production and then transfered either into their own data center or to a service provider of their choice.
It's not about outsourcing or support or any of that it's about getting people onto the Skyframe so they can deploy their private cloud as painlessly as possible without them losing any control of their applications, data and processes.
It most certainly can't be done without partners.
You never lose control even as you gain from moving to private cloud infrastructure.
All aboard the Skyframe..
