I use RS and AWS plenty, haven't used slicehost... So I'm certainly familiar with the cloud service offerings. Present situation is like this: I have a new client, who represents one half of a failed partnership, that is ending on sensitive but peaceful terms. Unfortunately, the servers are being hosted from the other guy's basement. Without incurring the typical 3-6 week leadtime of installing a network, we need to move those servers to neutral (and secure and accessible) territory. A brief interruption of service while moving physical servers is acceptable. Leaving the service down more than a few hours is unacceptable. The servers contain medical and personal information, so that might be a legal obstacle in terms of considering any cloud services. _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
