One of the co-located boxes needs to get massively updated this summer and it might just make sense to make the move to the cloud on that machine. Secretly though, I'm more interested in moving some of my business servers out of our inadequately cooled server room. Security and backups start to come into play there, especially if I include our assorted MS SQL servers, Raiser's Edge, etc. In any case, IMA's made a strong case to consider cloud computing going forward in any project.
