I think that cloud computing makes sense in some situations and doesn't make sense in other situations. If the data is really sensitive than making use of a 3rd parties cloud may not make sense, but there are some situations where a lot of money can be saved by not having to implement a data center and cloud. If the user just needs the computational power once every six months and has confidence that the 3rd party will keep the data safe than it probably makes sense to use the third parties cloud. If the user needs the cloud every day and the data is classified than it may make sense for the user to build their own cloud.
Anyway, I think there is a spectrum of when it makes sense to make use of a 3rd parties cloud computer and when it makes sense to build a private system. I would hope these are things a good consultant would walk through with a user.
--Geez, I just don't get this ... the guys I work with would never consider putting data into the hands of a 3rd party, no matter who the 3rd party was.
