We are a private k-8 school and we have a board member who is telling us that we should not buy any new servers to replace the current ones, he says everything is moving to the cloud and so should our stuff(user folders, authenication AD win 2003 R2 and Exchange 2003 is what we're using, they want to move to gmail but there's no central management there I know of,and offsite backups only.) We have about 350-400 students and faculty and they want to be on the bandwagon to the cloud I think without understanding everything about it(I'm not entirely clear either) and was looking for thoughts and opinions or resources.
