1. I think "data in the cloud" is so far a big block to widespread
adoption and using cloud for large, sensitive and mission critical
applications (espicially for Financial organization). Is someone
thinking of a way to leave the data within the user-premises and do
just the computing in the cloud? Kind of a reverse connection back to
the user datacenter.

That way the conventional data respositories can still be used. The
users will not have to worry about the reliability, availability and
(to a large part) security of the data. We still have to worry about
the security of the data travelling back and forth to and from the
cloud to the user data center.

This probably is more relevant for medium to large scale users with
"sensitive" data.

Comments? tips?

I was also thinking about some kind of staged DMZ-like data island on premises (with enforced access policies),

that has protected communication/transport channel to various compute cloud providers.

As a simple example, I had a use case with Maya3D render job using NFS/SMB shares for input and output files, where NFS server is located on premises and rendering process was done by multiple remote nodes at Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, orchestrated by LSF.
