"Cloud" means whatever the speaker wants it to, these days. :) But I don't even see this one as much of a stretch: If the provider has a big net of distributed datacenters, and you're outsourcing some service to that, and the provider gives you a VPN box to make the link, that still seems pretty cloud-ish to me. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
