On another SaaS forum, Drew Clark of IBM had put together this useful list of cloud implementations.
Nasdaq is the only Financial company on this list. There are rumors that finance companies are running compute intensive tasks such as risk simulations on the EC2 infrastructure. It is perhaps not publicized since it has security implications.

Barbara,
How can you manage one (clouded) physical layer of Networking environment for
different kind of customers? It wont be a problem if you have one single
company
wit its own cloud, but I think this is rather consolidation/centralization than
cloud computing?
Met vriendelijke groet,
Kind regards,
