    “The Cloud” just means “someone else’s sever”. A lot of people who should know better just don’t get that.

    It’s entertaining to take almost any internal memo or external press release and substitute “someone else’s server” every time “the cloud” appears. They all suddenly look insane.

      Yes, but it also means someone else’s responsibility to maintain the infrastructure (lower cost often times) and someone else is accountable for down time.
