Interesting. Looks like the Cloud Computing vendors are not ready for prime time. Hopefully down the road vendor lock in will be a thing of the past.
ReplyDeleteI was going to post my reaction....

These. People. Think. Like. I. Do.
The comments are pretty interesting, more than the article itself. At the end of it ,its still human to blame on clouds. It still asks a question how much can we rely on clouds, matter fact on any technology that sounds hip.
ReplyDeleteCloud computing has always been a favourite topic of discussion in the Systems Integration class. This made me have a look at this link to find out what could have been an issue with this technology. The post however only talks about the problems that were part of the agreement. It was more of a business issue between the company and the vendor rather than the technology they were dealing with.
