EDITOR'S NOTE

Good morning,
After the massive response to last week's cloud stress test piece, we follow up today with a snapshot of the test results (including slides).
Throttling and power failures were behind some of the poor results - which will cast further questions over the applicability of some cloud services to more mission-critical enterprise workloads.
Help us decide where iTnews is headed - simply fill in the 2009 iTnews Readership Survey and you'll go into the draw to win $500!
