The cost of managing your own servers is quite amazing when you consider the admin people, user licensing, storage, and costs traffic. For something like Exchange, the figure can be about $2000- per user over a five year period. The cost for working in the clouds? With Google Enterprise apps, for example, the figure is something like $200. With figures like this I think cloud computing is coming to us all. It's just a matter of time. M @Dan is right.

Gutierrez CEO of HostedDatabase.com I’m delighted to read blog posts like this one. When we launched the web’s first Database-as-a-Service in 1999, companies valued our service because being in the cloud meant our technology was compatible with all hosting solutions.
