I would suspect these disasters will happen on any/all Cloud services. The Cloud is still in its infancy and their network is astronomically complex. It is like anything mechanical, you can not just turn it on and walk away. Overall I would suspect that there is insufficient IT staff to properly manage such a system...that is always the problem. I have never heard of a network that has not crashed for one reason of another...that is a universal truth. Everyone has to accept that reality but there also has to be redundancy, fail-overs and backups built into every system...not for "if" but "when". Under staffed and under supported would be my call...hire more techs and fire those guys in accounts. ;-) Jim -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Stuart McLachlan Sent: Friday, February 22, 2013 3:47 PM To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: [dba-Tech] Are you ready to base your business on the Cloud yet?
