Really a cloud? I am gonna put my data up their to be looked at on their servers by the socialist weasels over at Google, Apple and Microsoft?
There are ways where you can host programs in the Cloud, but keep your data behind the firewall.
I am looking at deploying some of our apps using Google App Engine, to allow access to our employees from anywhere, but we use Google’s Secure Data Connector to communicate with the back-end database, which lies behind our firewall.
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
