Would these questions be different from 3, 5, 10 years ago when considering outsourcing? Is vetting a so-called cloud provider today different from vetting, say, EDS last year? IMO, the questions/needs/ eval criteria for considering outsourcing of infrastructure, hosting, etc. have not changed. Is there anything new that "cloud computing" has introduced? -Rob
