it is a repeating cycle. change the paradigm to make more money. Once everyone that needs one has a mainframe switch to desktops, now everyone has a desktop switch to the 'cloud'. eventually it will swing back to personal/business owned devices as data security becomes a (bigger) issue
BTW - when using a 'cloud' service, depending on your personal/business outlook you might want to think about who has access to your data, and what are they doing with it. This applies not just to colo and 4D but to everything in 'the cloud'. What is Apple doing with your playlists and other purchasing habits (and what does that say about you), who else is looking at the files in your dropbox account, and nobody should have to wonder about what google, amazon, Facebook twitter etc are doing with all the information you maybe giving them. Just because your are paranoid does NOT mean that they are not *really* out there... :) On Thu, 10 Oct 2019 08:59:48 -0700, Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech wrote: > It is kind of > interesting that we are moving back to the topology the industry started > with - what's the difference between a 'main frame computer' and 'cloud > computing'?
