We're looking at moving from AWS to having some machine space rented in two data centers. The reason is purely cost. There are still some computers on site due to equipment being tied to it, telephony stuff, etc. My last company was looking at "moving to the cloud", with the idea that its data centers were too expensive, but found out that the cloud solutions would be even more expensive, despite possible discounts due to the size. They still invested in it due to some Australia customers wanting data to be located there.
