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.
