It is possible to have an in house Linux cloud that is redundant, safe and secure. All it takes is the time and experience necessary to create it, and if it's in house, it can be customized specifically to the needs of one particular organization; no cookie cutter clouds necessary. LOL Also, if all activity in the cloud is local, it can exist totally within a local network, safe and secure behind a firewall, but if users must access it remotely, the in house cloud can still be redundant, safe, and secure.
