In my three part essay (here, here, and here) on Cloud Computing, I covered mainly the security concerns and how organizations can prepare themselves before getting to cloud based computing solutions.
If you are looking for real world case studies in the cloud computing space, then read on.
In 2009 US federal government started a cloud computing initiative for the public sector agencies. As part of this initiative, a recent report was published, which gives an overview of this effort.
In this "state of public sector cloud computing", the Federal Chief Information Officer gives details on their approach to leverage cloud computing technology.
The report also gives details on common characteristics and various deployment models available with cloud computing. The report concludes with many case studies of cloud computing implemented at various agencies. The major areas include software development, software testing, CRM, email systems, web based application, etc.
The case studies are detailed and provides the reason and some of the benefits achieved by using cloud computing solutions.

I did not see the "three part series" earlier. It provided excellent information on what to check. Many organizations select providers without asking these questions and they end up suffering later on.
Your essay was excellent, I look forward to more on this area.
My company is looking to move some of the applications to the cloud, your checklist was very useful and helped remove some of the bad vendors.
