A random white paper I read used the words, "...increase infrastructure ROI..." when discussing virtualization of servers. These words are not typically used in the context of cloud based services because everyone is so preoccupied with the benefits of using the public cloud.
In public cloud parlance, ROI us usually used in a comparison of the costs to buy infrastructure vs. the cost of using resources on demand in the cloud. In private cloud vocab, ROI means just that: return on investment. So, how does an organization "increase" the ROI for capital assets? By virtualizing and adopting cloud best practices for automated provisioning and deprovisioning-in other words, creating a private cloud. If usage of the asset is increased, then the return on the initial investment can be increased as well.
