Lots of companies are outsourcing operations.

The benefit by cloud over traditional outsourcing is that
you pay for usage - you can have 2 CPU's this week,
25 CPU's next week and 7 CPU's the week after - and you only
pay for actual usage.

Sure you can not hop into an airplane, fly to India, be shown
a computer room and have somebody point to a rack and say "THAT
is your system", but that is not a real problem.

(making applications run functionally and secure in cloud context
do raise some technical problems that need to be solved)
