Poll: One Cloud Services Provider (CSP) to Rule Them All By 2015?

Instead, many VARs will become cloud brokers for big cloud services providers (CSPs) like Amazon Web Services, Google Apps, Microsoft Office 365 and/or Rackspace. The question: Will VARs consolidate their cloud partnerships and flock to one leading CSP by 2015?
