The whole point of the "cloud" is to be able to scale, instantly. Tonido (and MS Windows Home Server) are just singleton, so I don't think they can be considered "cloud" solutions, simply because they cannot scale on-demand.
- jf 18y agoPerhaps I don't understand Tonido correctly, but it seems to me that Tonido would scale just fine, it just pushes the scaling issues on to the user: "Can't access your photos? Make sure your Tonido server is up!"
- codemechanic 18y agou can use the farm of these babies (http://www.tonidoplug.com/ http://www.tonidoplug.com/) to scale personal cloud and make it available 24/7 at a fraction of energy cost
- martey 17y agoI believe nreece's point was that cloud computing is normally defined as using virtual servers. This is not to push uptime and connectivity issues onto a third party, like shared hosting or colocation, but to ensure connectivity in case of unexpected demand (i.e. your site getting slashdotted). If Tonido was a cloud computing solution, a large amount of demand would cause it either to magically launch a new Tonido Plug, or alternatively use the resources of someone else's unused Plug server.
