It is tough because as you mentioned and Nikita outlines, there are many flavors of grid. And there have been more than a few failures with more traditional hardware like grids. The problem (perhaps) with using the word "virtualized" is that there is also a virtualization craze on - and from my limited knowledge of your product, you don't having anything to do with it (certainly can run on it).
