Re: Cloud vs The Internet Versus History

That isn't a cloud. Unless you're creating little storm cells in your
own part of the atmosphere. :)

The "cloud" is an amorphous marketing term that has merely come to be
synonymous with "residing outside of my own personal control, but in
theory bound by an SLA that I pay for".

It's hype. And too many people are smoking from the pipe before
figuring out what it is they are sticking in their mouths. Law of
Unforeseen Expenses... if you move all your critical things that you
need to access OUT of your own system, well, guess what. You'll need to
increase your own bandwidth in order to GET TO your own data. And that
may equate to using the "internet" to get to your "cloud", or using some
wispy clouds to get to your storm cells.

Whatever analogy you choose to use, you're moving your own assets
someplace else. It's beyond centralization.

vBlock is closer to an example of mainframes than cloud computing is IMHO.
