Most banks run their systems through a Citrix station and no longer support in-house servers. Of course their remote servers have built in fail-over which just automatically re-directs a client to another remote synced server in the event of a failure. They have a number of ISP broadband pipes out of each bank so internet performance is never an issue. Eventually, they will be moving all their resources into the Cloud as well then they will not even need a Citrix station or even a router, just a smart switch with encryption/de-encryption capabilities.

Until then it is pure nonsense. Unless of course having your business completely down because the data center in NYC is underwater is acceptable. None of my clients need the power of the cloud, nor is the cloud reliable enough yet. I have no doubt that it will be some day soon (10 years), at which time it will make a lot of sense. Today I think not. John W.
