Do you still have absolute control? Probably not - but you never had that in the first place (unless you manufactured your own hardware, wrote your own OS, compiled it using a compiler that you audited yourself etc.)
<any companies in the world co-locate their physical servers in other company's data centres - already yielding physical control. Just about every company in the world delegates administration of systems to their IT department, further eroding absolute control. Are we saying that this is all some unmanageable risk? The "right way" is for every company to run their own data centres located on physical property that they own, and managed only by owners of the company? Cheers Ken From: Hank .

They can certainly claim that but once you give physical access of your servers to someone else who knows? Lets say you manage your LOB servers that are under your physical control at your business location. Lets say I call myself "secure cloud" and all of my marketing describes how safe and secure your data is when it is in my possession. So your company buys into it. I send a truck over and take your physical servers and bring them to "the cloud" (really just my facility) and tell you that within a few hours you will be able to log into your servers with the same credentials. Do you still have control?
