    Windows Azure –> Windows® Azure is a cloud services operating system that serves as the development, service hosting and service management environment for the Windows Azure Platform. Windows Azure provides developers with on-demand compute and storage to host, scale, and manage Web applications on the Internet through Microsoft® data centers.

    one question keeps coming up wht about security? if a company is going to use clowd for developing code, which could be an IP, how can it make sure that the service provider managing the server which they are using at that point in time can access the code and may be steal it?

    very good and stright to the point. Whether you agree or not i understand what a cloud is

  19. Nenlos says:

    I’m still not convinced. The reason for my outburst was not for compliance issues, and cloud computing is good for the general public who need expanding websites. I was referring to sensitive data that only a specific group should access. The other side of the story is you’re giving up control over data redundancy and control over physical server liability in general. The bottom line is: trust; when “/most/ compliance issues” just won’t cut it.

    Gread Video gogrid team :D

  21. GoGrid says:

    Actually, we (GoGrid) can connect to dedicated servers that will past most compliance issues. These are dedicated servers if you need them. Cloud on the front-end and dedicated on the back end. Check GoGrid’s Cloud Connect for details.

  22. Nenlos says:

    It’s a trap! If information is sensitive then it becomes a liability if hosted anywhere else but at your location regardless of policies and contracts. Keep your own servers and data in a secure place. This is common sense. Don’t use a cheap substitute that makes you pay more for bandwidth and space.

  23. YourSocialCommentary says:

    so who owns the cloud/ where is it?

  24. NitroMikeo says:

    Why copy leelefever?

  25. jannelund says:

    Excellent presentation. No pretentious mumbo-jumbo but concise, straight-to-thepoint, informative and clear. Why hide the facts when they are this interesting?

    EXCELLENT! 5* from me
