We have a few - just a Windows server in a bunker somewhere with our
application on it, and the users run it via RDP sessions. No biggie.
The trouble is that 'the cloud' is a very nebulous term, and 'putting an
app in it' even more so.

Maybe we could just call it the nebulosity instead of cloud, or be more
specific about our hw/platform specs. My head's been in the clouds too long
according to most of my friends, although I still reign from time to time
with occasional clearing.

It's not a VPN but it's supposed to be some kind of security on the
backend. Maybe it's hardware only, but it is some kind of secure logon.
Not my area to deal with.

If your client wants a web-based (AKA browser-based) solution, please
take a look at FoxInCloud.

OT-free version of this
Really depends on the number of users. We moved several VFP apps to the
cloud with about 125-150 users. Not quite sure how many servers that's
spread across on the cloud, but I think it's at least 6 servers (4 for user
logins and 2 for data). Everything accessed from RDP (remote desktop).

If the cloud is mounted as a drive can you skip the RDP?

Not with our setup we can't. Once we RDP into the cloud, we can access the
local computer's resources if need be, including internal network drives,
but it is S L O W. Access on the cloud resources is very fast, just the
local access is slow.

I don't see where that should be much of a problem then. It took several
weeks for things to work smoothly for ours, but it seems to work pretty
well now. I know our hardware guy spent a lot of time on the phone with
the cloud techies before things worked correctly, though, especially for

This'll be a very generic cloud: either Google or Amazon.

Not so that it's noticeable. We had a sever problem with
generating/printing large reports early on (10-1 slower) but I'm pretty
sure that's not as big a problem as it used to be. At least I don't hear
the complaints as often, anyways. ;) The printing was local, and what

Lew,
Do you mean the Foxpro tables (is that what you're using on the

Lew- looks like 'cloud' means different things to different
Yes, VFP all the way. I agree with the sucky assessment, I just need to
know if it'd work. This is a single user/owner start up. Fancy stuff down
the pike when she can afford it. They'll probably be a timeout issue at
public access points; I'm guessing that already.

I'm really not sure what's actually on the backend for the cloud. (not
Rackspace cloud).
All I know is everyone logs into a central server and is balanced out to
an actual server. Each server is Windows 2008/R2 server OS (12GB ram), but
I don't know if it's virtual or otherwise. Certain people

Our VFP data is on a server within the cloud space. The user apps are
spread across multiple servers, but the data is all in one place so SELECT
