Now there's phrase we seem to be hearing a lot and whilst cloud vendors all dismiss companies concerns it is a hurdle they will have to overcome to capture lucrative business.
A helping hand in this may be a recent deal between HP and the US DoD. The DoD has made a deal with HP to supply a Rapid Access Computing Environment (RACE). This will allow the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to avoid the cost traditional incurred with hardware and only pay for what they use.
More of the story can be found at www.cloudfutures.com.
The crux is: with the DoD trusting the cloud to deliver computing capacity - albeit for testing and development systems - how long will the view that the cloud is not secure last. Simple maths: all cloud provider have so much more to lose than any company hosted in their cloud!
So cloud users can sleep tight as if you data is not secure and it affects your business you'll be taking down a lot of others with you! Not reassuring I know...
