I see a lot of potential for the cloud but certainly have concerns. Being in the healthcare industry the fact that under HIPPA guidelines we can't store data in most of the clouds. I know auditing is a big part of this. In a cloud sales pitches one vendor has said they don't want our patient data so there's at least one out there that isn't ready to handle HIPPA requirements.

The fact that we won't have control if the service goes down also doesn't sit well. It's not fun being in a position to say that we don't know when access will be re-established and there's nothing we can do to speed it up.
