"One would be nuts to cloud sensitive data."

"The Cloud"(God, I hate that term), is fine as long as it's YOUR 'Cloud', and you OWN it. Anyone farming out such things to a 3rd party is absolutely NUTS!

Is it my term to point out that certain things have been “on the cloud” for years? IE, email? And that the old term for “cloud” is “co-located servers”?

And that IT professionals for 20 years have rejected putting their data on third-party offsite storage, for a lot of good reasons, none of which are going away just because a fading IT monopoly coins the term?
