[dba-Tech] Open365

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Martin and Jim

Ah, good weekend humour! 

On the other hand, you sleep well when you know your pictures of "Tour Eiffel", "Den lille havfrue", and "Berliner Siegessäule" will be kept safe from malicious eyes.

Yes, I have been watching that case carefully...there are so many potential negative ramifications.

We are in the preliminary stages of planning a Europe vacation and I have taken the extraordinary caution of creating a protonmail acount, a telegram messaging account, an encrypted VPN account and built a Raspberry PI router, that uses a SPI firewall. I know it is a little over-the-top but its good practice. ;-)

Key is can you choose where you data is when you install the product. Biggest issue is the on going case in USA with Microsoft re data held in Ireland. Could be massive issues if they lost that case.

I don't blame you...

But as I understand it...Amazon's AWS is regionalized. That means, to me, that a client from one region has their access information and data stored locally at the closest Amazon Cloud farm. There appears to be a zone in Ireland and in Frankfurt.

This is of course why I look forward to reviewing the server model where it can be hosted and monitored locally.

I think the online server(s) are sources via Amazon Cloud service.

Just did a quick check for the Open365.io and it was registered at Amazon (AWS), so its real physical location could be anywhere:
http://whois.domaintools.com/open365.io

According to Amazon's general description of AWS:
https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/

The registered owner of this site is:
