RE: Calling all cloud skeptics
CobraA1 4th Aug 2010
" I?m beginning to wonder whether there are any cloud skeptics left."

I'm not skeptical that the cloud will be important - but I am skeptical that "100% cloud" will happen in a world where networking is inherently imperfect, or that it's a magical silver bullet for all problems.

There's also security issues to resolve, as well as privacy issues.

And of course there's a level of loss of control, and many people don't like that, period.

I think that often cloud pushers are under the illusion that it solves all problems everywhere. I don't think it does.

Refusal to admit there's any problems at all with a solution is often a sign of dishonesty.
