The cloud as 2nd data center or DR site

F&M has been very successful in moving our servers to VMs inside our VMware clusters. We currently have 90% of our servers running in a VM and we will be moving to almost 100% in the next year or two. Given that, why not utilize IaaS cloud services to be our DR site or even as a second active data center? The DR site is particularly compelling given the financial model of paying for actual CPU time used. Why not only pay for DR if you have a disaster?

Something to think about...
