No offence, but I also don't get too excited about the idea of
my/customers data pending in some unknown place with unknown people
having potential control over it.
Besides, it's risky to rely on a working internet connection all the
time for work. There are too many things that can go wrong, like in all
complex systems.
How about troubleshooting/workarounds if something hangs? And there can
hang a lot in any complex 3d application.
What if you forget to pay your bills? What about being forced for
whatever upgrades? Will you get cut off the chance to continue work?
This does not mean the Exocortex guys are not idealistic, but you cannot
be sure what will happen in the more distant future, when you have
settled comfy in that system and got dependant on it.
Cloud is evil... it means total control. Clever business idea for
managers it might sound, but I for my part dislike it.
My kind of old-schoolish opinion...

This claraio example pushes me to point out that it would still
be nice to be sure that every workfile or content stays inside the
private IP address space at any given time. At all times.
Personally, I simply don´t like the idea of effectively handing over
the absolute control over my intellectual property to any kind of remote
or even unknown entity/authority that may have completely divergent
interests to my own without even needing to state so in advance.
Clouds are happily described as giving you that air of freedom but
handing over data to a cloud effectively just means handing over your
data to someone else.
I don´t see why I would want to do that.
It would be nice if Claraio is made to run self-contained in a private
network
without any strings attached.
Cheers,

But all these new (internet based) tools makes it very interesting
