In his recent letter to the Economist entitled Cloudy-sky thinking, Professor Milo Martin makes a great point about the reliability of Cloud Computing.
Anybody who has relied upon an in-house IT infrastructure will surely remember the angst created by system downtime due to faults, upgrades and the like. The occasional unavailability of Cloud Computing resources and the ease with which you can back-up your data compares very favourably. Not to mention the cost savings.
It's just great to log-in to one of your on-line applications and find there is a range of new features available, without anything to organise, no downtime and no additional costs.
