Regardless, the trend is compelling for anyone in a large enterprise that’s had to wait for a new business capability to be delivered by a legacy internal IT group that’s consumed by the day-to-day operations.

We're now getting to the point where we can move many IT processes outside the datacenter and into 'the cloud' (sorry, had to use the term). Not just processing and storage but full-blown solutions (DR, software dev, etc).</p> I think the idea of IaaS (or whatever it ends up being called) is pretty important.
