Use Amazon, that limits it to the socialists there.

That way I can get a high performing server with unlimited storage for $25 a month, encrypt the data, and store backups locally.

Or I can buy my own server for $20,000 and another $20,000 for the firewall and associated equipment.

hmmmm

That’s a fairly significant server, you must have a lot of customers.

They deserve to have you take better care of their information than the “Cloud”.

Wow.

Remind me to never hire you to do my purchasing.
