Your original definition: "cloud" == "you rented a colo, but have no clue where". I know exactly where my colo is. I know exactly where my physical servers are. If I run a private cloud on those servers and provision stuff there, I'll still know exactly where my colo is and I'll still know where my "cloud" infrastructure is deployed
I posit the thesis that if you know where it is, it's not really a cloud, it's just a server farm with a severe attack of buzzwords. The whole point of "cloud" is that you've made "where" Somebody Else's Problem - and if you know where it is because you're still managing it yourself, it isn't an SEP.
