All the flexibility that the cloud offers is wasted on a large bank. I remember one of the selling points of cloud computing for developpers is that it takes months to provision a physical server in a large organisation. With [enter cloud name here] a developper can create a VM in only a few minutes!
Well, enters a typical bank bureaucracy, cost controls, approvals, etc. And now we are back to taking months to provision a VM!
