Why I think the cloud is a fad in a nutshell.
LMAO! My company wants to go to MS365 and “the cloud.” This is gonna be fun.
I can’t think of a single advantage to using “the cloud”.
Yep.
The software as a web service concept was pushed by MS and other companies back in the late 90s. It was way too early for the technology back then and it isn’t much better now.
The “cloud” is presented as this mystical storage and web services super machine somewhere out there in the ether. It is just collections of servers located in some physical building on the ground, somewhere in the world. Servers fail and if the failover plan also fails it can be disasterous to entities that push critical services and data into the “cloud”. This is not that much different than the outsourcing craze back in the 90s. Put your critical data and resources into the hands of an outside company that has no real stake in your success and you are incurring a huge risk.
GET A MAC.
The cloud is a marketing gimick for suckers who are too democrat party to realize cloud is just code for “storage on my server”.
BTW storage those suckers are too lazy to realize costs money to their bottom line.
There were two or three Autodesk people standing around, looking bored. One of them showed me a sculpture of a show guest that had been made earlier in the day. I asked if I could get one of myself, and the young lady replied "sorry, the cloud's down."
Exactly. I want some control over my software, and I want it on my own machinery for just this reason. I don’t want my office wiped out, without recourse or backup. And who would trust Mister Bill Gates, anyway?
