[ Cloud Computing ] Cloud Computing Business Case Questions

I've been tinkering in the cloud for a while now and have been amazed as
what' going on out there and all the innovation. I think it's great. The
problem is a lot of good ideas don't get to far unless they have the
sponsorship and buy in of the people paying the bills.
I'm trying to build a value proposition for expanding a virtualization
strategy and leveraging Cloud Computing. I'm trying to capture some real
facts for a business plan that would outline a real strategy and show then
some positive ROI. You know how it is. Nothing gets done without showing
the ROI. All the benefits of Cloud Computing seem very fuzzy since it's
so new and still developing. I'd like to capture the groups thoughts in
the following area or at least places where I could track down some
tangible points. I promise to post a summary when I'm done.


Savings Side


Tangible


On premise Virtualization


Off premise Cloud Computing


Reduced electric and cooling costs


Reduced capital costs


Reduced administration and support


In tangible


Benefits of speedier provisioning


Costs Side


Initial set-up and conversion costs


Monitoring


Monthly repeating costs
