Thought i'd just stick some of my thoughts regarding cloud computing out there.
The concept of cloud computing is an excellent one, the thought that i can access my files and even my programs from any machine in any location is great, and as a concept i can see how companies would be attracted to it.
My concern is that the potential for things to go wrong is still there, as it is in any system, but if the data is lost there is no local copy. This is what happened to T-mobile's Sidekick mobile phone in october of last year, a server fault meant that users lost data that was stored remotely.
That's bad enough on a mobile phone but imagine the lost revenue if it had happened to a business.
To conclude i would say that cloud computing is an excellent idea, but not one to rely on just yet |
