Sooo.. wrong.
Private clouds are exactly the same as the public cloud with the exception of its location. While a datacenter is part of the private cloud, the cloud itself is way more. It provides remote apps, services such as e-mail, web sires, GIS services, and the list goes on. If anything the public cloud is just another buzzword for off-premise datacenter. In fact, any computer is a data center regardless of whether it is attached to the cloud or not.

Both versions of cloud can be used for exactly the same things. And a datacenter, per se, is such a small part of what a cloud can be that your article makes no sense.

The cloud is definitely a big part of the future of IT. Small entities will use the public cloud but large entities will develop their own.
