But much of the industry has a legitimate alternative: If companies already own data centers, they can architect them to operate like “internal” clouds.

This approach (see: http://fountnhead.blogspot.com/2008/08/creating-generic-internal-cloud.html) has all of the efficiencies and economics of using an outside cloud, but without the lock-in, standards issues, security issues of cloud computing. It’s based on utility computing technologies, and is available now.
