Not all companies are willing to move to the Cloud for various reasons, some of the listed below
Security--customers want physical control of their data and still don't trust it off site.
Unapproachable--moving applications to the cloud seems complicated and abstract.
Proprietary--it's too hard to move data among systems.
Rearchitecting current applications is time-consuming and complicated.
All or nothing--you're either cloud or on-premise, but not both.
Do-it-yourself--support isn't a big priority for some cloud computing vendors.
These are taken from Rackspace CTO, John Engates, in his speech at the Web 2.0 Summit
For his part, Engates defined cloud computing as being similar to hosting, but with much greater flexibility thanks to the use of virtualization to create and break down applications quickly. VMWare, Microsoft, and Amazon would probably all agree with that definition. Then they can get to work solving the other problems.
