[sdiy] Cloud or not cloud... That's the question..

[Pete Hartman]

Anybody who puts their very precious data in any single place is looking to
lose it.  Backups and multiple providers are key.

I find it highly doubtful that any classified data is in a public cloud,
even encrypted.  Scientific data for NASA on the other hand, I can easily
believe is not only stored in the cloud but processed in the cloud (Amazon
Web Services et al).  But I would hope they're smart enough to have
multiple copies of the data even then.

I could see the FBI possibly "outsourcing" to external providers who
specialize in dedicated secure cloud storage, but that's not "the public
cloud".

Thanks

Pete
