Absolutely agree. The term cloud is just a buzz word. Whether to use a "cloud" provider for any service comes down to doing due diligence and choosing a trusted partner. People were doing vaulting, hot/cold spare colo, hosted email, etc. long before the term "cloud" became popular. That's not to say that cloud providers are bad just because they are cloud providers. It's all about what fits the needs of the org and in the manner the org is comfortable with.
