Snowden's HELPING public clouds says VMware hybrid head VMware's senior veep and general manager for Hybrid Cloud Service Bill Fathers has told the Gigaom Structure conference that Edward Snowden's revelations about NSA snoopery have turned out to be a good thing for the hybrid cloud. In an interview visible here Fathers, at about the five minute mark, says the NSA's activities are …
Nope, not here there isn't.
And saying that just after what happened to Code Spaces is unfortunate timing at its best.
The Cloud is still an unsecure, unreliable thing over which even paying customers have very little control and even less guarantee.
Sorry, but no cigar.
I couldn't agree more with you Mr. Monett. Unlike this statement:
"you started out scared by the NSA but now you are awed by the power of web-scale operators
Code Spaces were a web-scale operator. Awed would definitely not be my first choice of description.
the Cloud = NSA, GCHQ
workaround is obviously to host one's Cloud data outside of the problem areas, if possible

The Snowden impact and the impact that has had on the conversations we are having with clients has been fascinating
hmmm a true technical person or a sales guy ? conversations with clients is a sales guy not a techie
Why are we taking this from a sales guy on a techie site, shouldn't this article be on somewhere like the bbc or daily mail ?
