If there are obvious benefits for corporate IT to move to the cloud, what about Federal IT? Wouldn’t Fed IT benefit in the same way? Are there any situations where it doesn’t make sense for federal IT to move to the cloud? What special security challenges will federal IT face in adopting the cloud, and how will they be handled? What lack of resources or support is slowing down Fed IT adoption of cloud computing?
