Cloud Hosting Is The Future!!! (Score 1)

And thus we see how the value of the remote "cloud" as the solution to all things starts to diminish. In computers (as with many other things - education, government, manufacturing, employment ,...) there is a wave pattern between key trends, an ongoing shift between local versus remote infrastructure. Like so many other technologies that have experienced the hype of being "the future", I have little doubt that over time the externally hosted cloud, and the type of infrastructure solutions that it offers, will find an appropriate place like so many before it. Concerns about privacy rights, ownership and access are going to push a large number of organizations back to hosting their own solutions locally, the cost of doing so being mediated by the value of better control over their information and content. It was always an inevitability, just a matter of the right circumstances driving the shift.
