It's hilarious to me that people dismiss cloud computing as the last time I checked, every business and consumer was connected to the internet through a 3rd party connection that is typically down far more often than a cloud-hosted website. Multiple times a year I've had no internet for much longer than 4-6 hours. I made this comment above but most of the negative comments come off as IT/server admins trying to justify their role as their job becomes commoditized. But, I'm expecting far to much rational thought from "anonymous" comments on TechCrunch. The internet is plagued by armchair morons. Absolutely agree.

In other words, cloud computing. What amazes me is that so few consider the fact that failures happen in EVERY system, regardless if it is in the cloud or not. Is AppEngine mature? Not yet, and its growing pains are showing. But does it have a track record of at least securing your data and providing mass redundancy/disaster-recovery? Yes, it does; in fact, it provides a multitude improvement in security & data redundancy over in-house consolidation. There are drawbacks to cloud-based computing, one such event being that when it goes down, everyone attached to it goes down, rather than just the one organization that has the failures. But there are a great deal of benefits to going this route, such as cost savings, proven tools, constantly maturing technologies to leverage, security (when a vulnerability is discovered, it is patched for all), mass redundancy & disaster recovery, and statistically even average up time, and the list goes on... If you are too naive to see the future of cloud computing, that's really too bad for you. Regardless of your perception of cloud computing though, it is here to stay, and its only begun to make an impact.

"But what if the Internet goes down!" Now most companies don't worry about it at all. I suspect the cloud will be the same in a few years.
