I do believe that the could is the way to go in the future, but you would own your own cloud and have the data yourself.However, the clouds available today is nothing but virtualized server parks with a lot of restrictions as well as unclear price / performance model.
AMEN! Add in unsecure, significant risk of data loss (when the company folds) and modify price to extremely high!
We are getting a lot of our systems quoted as "cloud", which means different things to different people. The costs are outrageous.
Let's see, outsourcing is going to help companies and increase job satisfaction by allowing people to work on more challenging work. Result - the loss of millions of jobs in America, poor quality work by the outsource providers, companies are now starting to recognize it is a mistake.
Let's see, cloud is going to help companies and increase job satisfaction by allowing people to work on more challenging work. Who wants to bet the results will be just as bad.
