In a story I saw on the New York Times website was this piece about how enterprises are looking at Cloud Computing. Entitled, "The Enterprise Impact of Cloud Computing," it makes a very good point about the optics Cloud Computing provides to enterprises, even if a company doesn't adopt Cloud Computing.
In essence the story observes that enterprises are using Cloud Computing as a pricing benchmark. While this might not be a fair benchmark, its a fairly transformative idea. If an enterprise discovers its paying 10x for storage that a Cloud provider is charging, it might lead to all kinds of interesting pricing pressures. I'm keenly following this notion.
