one I can trust with my IT period. The hardware and its configuration in my systems are of the same quality or better than what data centers run. As long as my plan for redundancy is a good plan then a third party just becomes a liability.
BTW, money I keep at home is just as safe as money at my bank. My fireproof safe bolted to my concrete slab is not going anywhere. I don't earn interest however but data I store in the cloud isn't going to provide me a return either.
I am truly as capable as any system designer, engineer or whatever you want to call them to design and implement a data center for my company, and probably more so after meeting some of these designers at various times over the years.
The cloud may be suitable for some and that is just fine. But I will take my chances with my solutions anyday over a third party cloud.
