Re: may i be the first

If you care to read most of the comments, you'll not see bitching at a particular cloud/outsourced/managed services/whatever this year's marketing buzzword is/etc provider, but at the idea that this cloudy thingy is some sort of panacea to all your IT availability issues, and you can throw away any other business continuity solution.

It isn't. Factor in proper BC, Due Diligence over the providers' offerings, and service failure insurance (ha!!!) and suddenly all those putative cost savings go Poof!!!

Unless, of course, your name is Matt Asay......
