Year 2012 has ended just recently. What a year it was for

contributed to the feeling that businesses shouldn't put their core assets in a
public cloud, and as a result, cloud vendors in 2012 ramped up sales of hybrid
cloud services, enabling companies to manage their own private clouds.
Outages
hit cloud hosting companies with regularity, creating a sense that they are no
longer extraordinary events, but rather a normal part of the cloud computing
business model.
