private cloud because it's cheaper than what they currently have.
Not as cheap as commercial cloud where stuff can be anywhere. Of
course, how much is your government function worth? One good flood
in India and if the IRS loses everything that's pretty expensive.

One day article writers will learn that just because they like
something doesn't mean it's a good idea. Obviously not today,
though.<br>

My take is that what you use for infrastructure and computing should
be based on your needs and budget not what is the current
marketing/business hype such as "The Cloud" or tablets instead of
desktops or laptops. Also, contrary to most hype about the cloud;
cost should only be one factor in the decision. Data security,
physical security, and access should be important factors also.<br>
