    Nirvonix disappearance - what we need is middle men. We need 'Cloud Brokers'. They would marshall Cloud capacity. They would also drive competition between proprietary suppliers. :doh:

    And what happens when the middle men disappears? You need to get ready with your backup plan (which is a quick transition to another provider).

      Your contracts with the OEM capacity makers will survive. You'll have time to look for a new broker. The stock market doesn't falter when an individual broker goes under. People just find another.

        The thing to do is keep a back-up of all data on a LAN server. ... Then use that instead of the data on the cloud, because it's five times faster.

          Here our farmers are trying to re-establish the silver nitrate to avoid hailstorms... perhaps you could try the same... in their case clouds seem to surrender... :rolleyes:

            Yes, but...we found out last week[^] that rain washes the data away, and that you store your information in your phones battery... :doh:

              There was an interesting talk about this problem (and the broader subject of data retention) at Webstock'13, the video is available here: http://vimeo.com/68526275[^] Long story short there are already people dedicated to saving user data. P.S.: Don't let the presenter's outfit scare you :)
