Plenty of scientific computing applications fall over on the "cloud", too. The LHC produces somewhere between 20-30 petabytes/year[0][1] (at a rate of about 200 Megabyte/second[2] after ignoring many "uninteresting" events) The LHC is a big name, but there are many other applications in disciplines like physics, genomics, meteorology etc for whom "just use the cloud" is a terrible suggestion.
