This is the real problem holding the enterprise masses.
To be successful a cloud should offer the ability to run the current on premise applications and network topologies, but still enjoy the elasticity and on demand nature of the cloud.

Google Apps and EC2 are great to build the next facebook, but this is not what enterprise want.
Force.COM allows ISV to write a great new contract management app, but most enterprises have such apps already.
Enterprises want to keep their investment in It but use a new great economical and technological model. Full disclosure – this is what my own company, IT Structures, has been doing for 2.5 years now. We have seen both technology vendors and enterprise very quick to love using a cloud that runs the same app they sue in house, but with much less hassle.
We have seen that it works in the sense that

The numbers rarely mesh between one survey and another, and they never take into account how many departments within organizations are using IaaS without going through formal channels. Randy Bias at Cloudscaling just estimated Amazon Web Service annual revenue at around $220 million (http://cloudscaling.com/blog/cloud-computing/amazons-ec2-generating-220m-annually).

So how many companies will need that kind of flexibility would depend on how many get successfull & need a robust infrastructure, just using a Cloud IaaS will not make them rich nor successfull.

How viable business model is it only time can prove that so good number crunching for IaaS companies they should innovate on how to make the end user adoption of cloud more realistic.
