There has been a lot of talk, maybe way too much talk regarding Cloud Computing. The fact that companies and individuals are willing to keep data on someone else’s servers is interesting.
It does, of course, address the disaster recovery aspect since your data will be at some off-site location. Any damage to company property does [...]
