With total IT spending on cloud computing projected to grow at least threefold by 2012, a lot is being heard today about the potential benefits of cloud computing. From an IT standpoint, cloud computing for enterprises promises to deliver elastic scalability, pay-as-you-grow efficiency, and a predictable cost structure, while at the same time improving access to data. On the business side, this translates into an ability to turn capital expenses into operating expenses and increase productivity and innovation, all while reducing IT expenses and business costs.
Technological maturity is making workable cloud solutions both possible and affordable. Most large companies are already exploring ways to make corporate data centers more “cloud-like” to boost efficiency, cut capital costs, and provide the elastic scaling needed to adapt to rapidly changing business requirements. However, the best ways to accomplish this- especially where storage is concerned – may be still unclear.

Providers (internal or external) have to address scalability, privacy, data protection, manageability, and security issues.
