Everything you read is the savings that the cloud can offer a business. It appears that the cloud may not be that cheap for larger firms, however what about the small shops? I still see a hybrid of some apps in the cloud with a combination of "on premise" storage. It will be interesting. Another cost factor is the cost now for available, you still need quality bandwidth for on premise or private clouds, however many small businesses try to accomplish with low cost DSL services. So some maturity is still to happen in the market, however it will mature. Stuart Crawford Calgary, AB http://blog.itsuccessmentor.com Great post, interesting to see it from this side.
