Cloud is different then past iterations IMO. It offers translation and communication, but it also offers advanced scaling (active-active-active-etc) and DR (disaster recovery) strategies in a a-la-carte fashion. Amazon's approach to these two things is built right into their base virtual machines that we put our software on. To me, cloud computing is vitalization on steroids. If you've used VMware, you know how amazing it can be. .
For small and mid-size business it's huge. The cool thing about the Cloud is every little consultant shop can be in the cloud by getting a single instance of an Amazon box. If you want, I can talk more about how we are implementing this at Axway.
