The cloud is an unnecessary return to an ancient world of centralized "iron" vaults, only much worse. Giving up complete control of your own data is NEVER a good idea. If the IRS, FBI, or whomever else wants to seize your records, they won't even have to visit your offices with a warrant. They'll just send a letter to your "cloud" partner and take anything they want off their servers. You may not even find out about it until later. Your competitors could also hire hackers to target your "cloud" partner and gain full access to all of your data by breaching their servers. You would have zero control. Don't trust this direction folks. Resist the buzzword. Resist the cloud.
