Semi-rebuttal (as I'm not a fan of The Cloud either) - they store the data in secured datacenters, and probably encrypted too, for storage AND access. They have redundant power, internet links, infrastructure, dedicated to-the-case staff ;) and so on. Yes there is market for private cloud for companies that would go to all lengths to /not/ sell their data to Google or MS, AND have enough monies AND brainpower to match such setup, to ensure at least same level of service (i.e. having a bunch of obscure innocent looking boxes distributed around the office block unassumingly is not the name of the game for them any more) http://xkcd.com/908/ L. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
