- nailer 9y agoYou're right, I was being a little myopic: first world countries except Australia should be cloud focused, otherwise onprem.
- dom0 9y agoMany owners of SME expressed a lot of distrust towards "cloud" offerings. Even they are somewhat aware of industrial espionage and the risks of giving away control of central company assets like that. Microsoft tries to appease these concerns by e.g. having European companies control European operations (e.g. Telekom Cloud = Azure run by DTAG), but it doesn't seem to work that well — folks still assume that US courts and agencies have full access.

- ksec 9y agoYes. At one point in time one of the SME owner asked if they could have Azure, or Office 365 Server hosted on perm. And they paid the rental price for the server and software instead of going all in on Cloud.
- locusm 9y agoYeah, I was referring to Australia. Getting NBN/Cable is a lottery, Telstra EOC/SHDSL requires your first born.
