A couple of other articles related to Cloud Computing. This time with a focus on federal government implementation.
The first article, Gathering Storm, discusses the promises, players and reality checks related to Cloud Computing in the Federal Government. Main challenges to quick adoption that were identified are security and privacy.
The second article is a blog post from Bob Gourley. Bob has drafted a white paper on the topic of Cloud Computing and DoD’s Net Centric Operations and is looking for comments and feedback. This paper is a good primer on Cloud Computing and discusses some of the privacy and security concerns.

Defogging Cloud Computing – “Cloud computing suffers from too few customers and too many marketing dollars”
Cloud Wars: A New Hope – “A battle is brewing in the cloud, but that may be a good thing: It’s one of the few areas of the tech economy that isn’t stagnant. ”
