Re:Salesforce.com guy says servers are done, cloud is future

I had a look at the article, and if you can choke your way past
 the breathless marketing-speak, you'll see that by server he's
 referring to dedicated, in-house servers being managed by your
 own staff.  He's advocating outsourcing your server
 team.

I love the delicious irony of hearing this guy say you replace
 your servers with cloud, as though "cloud" weren't just marketing
 whitewash for a technology that is basically just
 servers.

I will also love the delicious irony of this guy being unable to
 do his job because his cloud provider has botched their
 configuration, flubbed a backup, or toasted its DNS, taking down
 his entire system.

I know of an office that just standardized on Microsoft O365
 (cloud office) and has had nothing but trouble since.  They've
 had log-in errors, certificate conflicts, and many-hour system
 downtime.  Worse, they can't just deal with it on their own
 anymore.  Every issue requires a call to Microsoft Support, who
 struggles to get stuff fixed.

I can appreciate some implementations of SaaS.  I'm using
 Fruux.com for hosted calendar and addressbook (cardDAV, calDAV)
 with some success, but even that I'll be able to host locally
 when I learn a bit more.  But outsourcing your entire business to
 some hosted solution?  I hope the competition does that so I can
 crush them when their cloud starts to rain.  Bwa ha ha ha
 ha.
