    What thread do you think you are replying to?

      > own infrastructure and take one's own destiny into one's own hands, along with the responsibility. Amazon did this. It went pretty well. So well they decided to sell the results of the expertise.

  I have my own datacenter. Works well and has for the past 20 years. Costs me peanuts because I know what I'm doing and how to do it. Will never be an Amazon or any other "cloud" provider's customer.

    how do you address the central "something went boom" issue of the post. Like if a backhoe takes out the line to connection to the data center do you still have any "nines" ?

      I have set up everything to be redundant.
