Parent means enterprise consulting "no one ever got fired for buying IBM"

Our SaaS is hosted on both AWS and Azure. It one goes down, the other picks up the slack. It is far from easy to configure, but you want real redundancy you need to do it.

Oh, you mean they store the password in plain text? That is the easiest give away there are poor security practices - password max lengths. Once hashed passwords all have the same length, so avoid those sites like the plague.

Sadly this is closer to reality

That Wolf Blitzer has at the moment. Between this and Ebola, CNN has the next few months of programming on a silver platter.
