I'm not looking for companies that offer this service, but the actual software
engines that allow you
to create VM's on the fly. So a customer goes to your website and says I want
Win2008 with 8gigs of RAM and 120gigs of HDD.
Just like custom configuring a new PC.
You might want to check out openQRM which is an open source project that
can do this type of dynamic provisioning, as well as other datacenter
management features, for multiple virtualization technologies (VMware,
Xen, KVM, etc). It can also handle provisioning of physical machines
and V2P and P2V migrations.

There's also an enterprise version so that you can get support and
services if needed:
