What Holds Up Adoption of Cloud Computing?

eWeek has a great article that sums up some key points on cloud computing.

First of all, it's important to note that many IT vendors are throwing around the term "cloud computing" simply because is has become fashionable to use the cloud as a marketing tactic.  In truth, the cloud is simply taking your physical servers and moving them to a data center.

Security is a concern for many considering moving to the cloud, but the reality is most data centers utilize far better security than most private networks.

Finally, make sure you migrate to the cloud not just for the sake of cloud computing but because it makes business sense.

Google Predicts Cloud, Mobile, Social Will Be the Defining Technologies of 2012

We agree with the prediction of Google Enterprise Vice President Amit Singh.  He sees cloud adoption accelerating in 2012, particularly among small businesses.

As a small business, we feel that most companies will prefer the cloud services of a local provider with a reliable and scalable infrastructure.  While Google's cloud services are certainly reliable, they do not have a local presence and the accessibility of a robust local provider.

On the other hand, we do have to emphasize working with a firm with the proper infrastructure, as many smaller operations may not have the ability to guarantee uptime nor can they grow with your business.
