Re: Finally an article that realises the reality..
This won't be a popular opinion on here, but I'd turn your figures on their head - I'd say 90% of SME server/computing requirements will (maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but in a couple of years when cloud infrastructure has matured a little more) find that cloud is a great fit for them. It's the 10-20% of "unusual" workloads that cloud will struggle with. To coin a phrase, businesses are in the business of running their businesses, NOT of running an IT infrastructure. Let those who are good at it do that and let the businesses concentrate on their core competencies. Everything gets commoditized over time, and cloud is just the next step in that direction for IT.
