@7EPlusInc 100% uptime will never be a reality. Quick example - no matter how many backups you have, no matter how robust the cloud is - your connection to the internet can /always/ fail. Even if you had fiber, a T3 backup, and your grandmother's 56k if your ISPs core router goes down you loose. With local services the outside can't reach you - but you can continue to work inside, outsource everything to the cloud and now not only is revenue lost from the outside but you're loosing productivity from your entire workforce.
