Re-read my post. I never said to use a large cloud computing company, although many people may choose this as a solution.

I said to set up *your* datacentres in an active/active mode rather than an active/passive mode. However this is really hard with some legacy systems. They just don't have the ability to transfer workloads easily or successfully share storage without data loss etc. I was acknowledging that active/active can be difficult with systems that weren't designed for it. However if you rewrite your system with active/active designed in then it is a lot easier.
