InfoWorld: Cloud hype got you skeptical? Beware an overreaction as well

Software AG's Miko Matsumura provides a well-laid-out contrarian view of cloud computing in his most recent post. As Miko states: "If your cloud provider fails, then you fail. Unless of course your cloud provides nonessential services. Don't count on it. Large-scale failures such as Gmail recently point out some of the flaws in [the] 'don't worry your pretty little head' [promises]. You'd better start worrying your pretty head. Failures aren't the only problem implicit in the cloud, the lack of transparency can lead to privacy failure."
