snydeq writes “IT professionals jumping into the cloud with both feet beware: It’s irresponsible to think that just because you push a problem outside your office, it ceases to be your problem. ‘t’s not just the possibility of empty promises and integration issues that dog the cloud decision; it’s also the upgrade to the new devil, the one you don’t know. You might be eager to relinquish responsibility of a cranky infrastructure component and push the headaches to a cloud vendor, but in reality you aren’t doing that at all.
