I saw this article today and found it interesting. This author didn't seem to be too fond of the the new, inexpensive ways of storing data. Despite that, I have found that some of the largest organizations based out of Phoenix have found it tremendously useful to start putting major amounts of their information into the cloud. It comes down to economies of scale, if someone can do something cheaper and better than you, then let them. Let them have their core competency and you keep focusing on yours.
