I’ve only been around the edges of the cloud.  As far as I was concerned the cloud had airplanes, birds and sky divers flying through it, how can it store and protect data? You are on a good track. Get involved with other vendors closer to what you intend to accomplish using the cloud.  They are the ones heavy into cloud data storage, cloud data security, etc to support you the customer. There are some good business models with the top cloud storage folks. Eliminate confusion in the discussion by diagramming out the apples from the oranges.
