Well, at least the name makes sense for a french since in french nebula
means too: hazy. Computer in the air. Fuzzy logic, and impalpable

I mean, say your company has 25 satellite offices... why should they all
have to do redundant work to update all the systems across the board. Isn't
the repetition going to cause a higher chance of someone missing something?
absent the plan 9 terminal model, who updates users' machines?

It makes perfect sense - sell poor service+brand at high price, buy good
service at low price.

I see FOUR lights!!
I see that NASA has enough funding to sell itself as a supplier of IT
services of last resort. At least, I think that's what it says, given that
the encrustation of B-School logorrhea on that site is making me dizzy.*
I'm interested in what their terms of service might be.
From what I see... it doesn't have any acronyms that:
1) end in an 'I'
2) begin with an 'I'
3) have the word 'intelligent' in a descriptor
Though I am a bit worried about the choice of AIX as the replacement
for Mae West.
Wait! I'm wrong. In the services section there is 'IaaS'.
Did anybody come up with cloud management software called Zeus or Jupiter yet?

I admit to a certain amount of glee seeing the news about major

example.
How about:
Clouds: how we reinvented the time sharing bureau, which we all
hated, back in the day, and replaced with our own computers, and
recreated the time sharing bureau in our own company, and hated it,
and now our management has decided they hate us and want to fire our
