I ran across this IDC chart on what customers want with cloud computing service providers. The survey is from August 2008 so it’s pretty current. Overall not so surprising that cost and performance are at the top of the list. I was a bit surprised that an established provider fell into a lower percentile. I guess that’s mitigated by the #4 response, the ability to “move offerings back on-premise”; assuming that means being able to move data back on-premise. I would have figured that being an established provider would be more important. A recent Information Week Cloud Services: What do you want?
