Cloud computing promises are foggy

Maybe it is just me but it seems that the promise of high return from "Cloud Computing" is not tangible in a global perspective. You would think those who promote it think anyone and everyone would be better off with this new scheme of hosting.

You get from a single point of management the ability to add memory, hard drive space, processing power may be flexable also, the ability to add database and other software servers also can be managed. There are those who have a business requirement model of services and features and if it does not meet their cloud model mindset then they promote it is not a cloud.
