In the wake of Cisco's announcement of entering the cloud market, there are several business case analyses that provide insight into whether the cloud is a good thing or not. Of course there are always competing factors between management and IT, which usually boils down to short-term vs long-term cost and financials vs technicals. What do the Soylenters think? Is the cost savings worth the security risks? Are the technical benefits of reliability worth delegating some administrative control?

    This is just one more example of companies trying to sell shit we don't need.

    The PC "revolution" was exciting because we got away from the rooms with the
    gurus and the elevated floors and tape drives and keypunch machines.

    And now "they" want us to go back to remote storage ? Transmitting over fiber or
    cable so it can be intercepted and possibly compromised ?

    Not with my data, not now, not ever.

    Apple tried to ram iCloud down users' throats by killing off local USB sync of
    iOS devices. But the users raised hell, and the next rev of OS X is bringing back
    local sync. If Apple had not done this I'd never buy another thing from them,
    because I will not be coerced into using a product I don't like.
