RE: "Cloud Computing" Smears (Was: Google Wave)
Er. In that sort of a situation, I myself would set up a RAID for storing the data, *much* less chance for losing it. I'd just do that anyway. In fact, the computer that's still in a box and is destined to replace the one I'm using right now has a RAID, because I seem to have a knack for catastrophically losing hard drives that baffles my husband entirely. (He has more problems with his PDAs than I do, so I guess there's *some* sort of balance) I think I've lost 2 or 3 in the past 6 years, and any data that wasn't backed up, which is kind of rough for an information junkie. For *that* sort of application, I'd go with a decent number of disks in the array for any one set of data. My own problem with cloud computing is, if the magical set of wires between me and my data has a glitch, I can't get to my data, and we end up with Grumpy Julia, which is not pleasant for anyone directly involved. (Jo Anne -- a RAID is a Redundant Array of Independent Disks, where the data is stored on multiple disks and checked for accuracy on some regular basis. If one drive goes down, either the data should be duplicated somewhere, or there should be enough information stored on another disk or disks to reconstruct what was lost. Off-site backup is still recommended for things like fire, floods and tornadoes, and don't anyone laugh about the tornadoes, m'kay?) Julia ___ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

"Cloud Computing" Smears (Was: Google Wave)
Bruce Bostwick wrote: Part of my concern with the concept in general is the fairly glaring admin/management deficiency described in this article: http://dailyqi.com/?p=10576 I've been avoiding most articles on this subject because there is a lot of FUD out there and very little real truth. Some of that is T-Mobile blamestorming and some of that is the usual sorts that like any opportunity to smear Microsoft. It's very easy to focus on the negative case studies in "cloud computing" and miss the 99.9% of the time when stuff works as it is supposed to. No one buys digital ads for articles about "the status quo works, go back to sleep". Danger was acquired in February of this year and I wouldn't be surprised that the majority of the infrastructure in question predated the acquisition. Even big companies like Microsoft can't magically change infrastructure with the snap of a finger... Furthermore, to my knowledge, Microsoft/Danger have been explicitly mum about what precisely the technological glitches were that lead to the failures. It's certainly easy to presume that "there were no backups at all", but at this point it is still hearsay, at best, and my money is on slander. I've heard that some of the affected customers have already started to get some of their personal data back and the press release from Microsoft declares that they are "confident" that they will restore the majority of it, which seems to contradict the "no backups at all" theory pretty well. (I doubt that they would remain "confident" if they were combing disks in clean rooms for good sectors...) Certainly Microsoft isn't entirely blameless, you would assume a technical audit would be an early priority in any acquisition. Presumably stability issues would be a huge priority and reliability engineers would be some of the first gated into a acquisition project. More particularly, I think that T-Mobile isn't nearly as blameless as they would like to believe or portray themselves as. Getting back to that "it's who you ask the questions" of problem, T-Mobile was the first call in that chain (their name is branded on the product!) and if their answer at any point was "we don't know about our service's reliability" or "our service is absolutely reliable" without connection to reality (and without in turn encouraging customers to talk to Danger if they wanted deeper answers), then they are absolutely a part of the blame and a part of the problem. All of which isn't to say that your fears, Barry, are unwarranted or that caution doesn't apply. More that I think that journalists (and almost especially "tech" journalists) seem to be having a harder and harder time reflecting technical reality and I think there is a need for some mechanism to break the tedious Hype then Fear/FUD/Doom/Gloom cycle. To me this is exactly the sort of story that breaks that doesn't get a healthy grain of salt... -- --Max Battcher-- http://worldmaker.ne ___ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

Part of my concern with the concept in general is the fairly glaring admin/management deficiency described in this article: http://dailyqi.com/?p=10576 Even though Danger is owned by Microsoft, who is a proponent of cloud-based computing where data is stored and possibly reproduced across a number of services, only one server apparently was used. This isn’t the problem here, but it’s the apparent lack of any data backup by Danger is. The company’s statement on this should be very interesting. Granted, the mistake was fairly obvious, but it's hard to find out about things like that up front. (Although, as you say, any provider that's reluctant or outright unable to answer questions like "what backup strategy do you use?" isn't a good choice ..)
