More info
aalkatib 15th Nov 2011
I was a little excited when I clicked on the link to read the article because I really want to know some of ???the prices that providers are offering. Although this article was informative to some level, especially to any ???new wanna be a cloud business provider; it didn't go deep into finding who are the companies out there ???that are providing cloud services and comparison wise. True that you want to unbiased, and I know that ???such article would require much more in-depth analysis and research, but it would be very helpful for ???people like me and others that are looking into sustainable, efficient and cost effective providers.???

Easy answer is they don't exist.

What you are asking for is a service that saves you money while offering a better solution than you yourself can put in place.

Along with the necessary insurance Cover for any Data Breach and the important thing who owns the data in the case of the Public Cloud Provider going broke, and some sort of guarantee that you can access your Data Immediately that the Provider ceases business and not have to enter into long negations with an Appointed Receiver who may have already on sold your data before allowing you to buy it back.

You would also want some sort of Guarantee that if this organisation is holding your Data and this is Mission Critical that in the event of any form of Financial Issues arising you can Immediately recover your Data from them so as to continue your Business.

Of course Insurance isn't going to protect you for a Data Breach by the Authorities who have the Law on their Side and use parts of it to look at your companies data under the Official Wire Tap Laws as it's not under your control and is now subject to the more Draconian Anti Terror Legislation that has passed in most parts of the world.
