Big Bug Bogs down Cloud

Today's report that a Gmail bug has lost a whole load of e-mails (even if only temporarily) reminds us that the Cloud does not automatically protect us from the need to protect and safeguard our data.

But equally, we should not get totally bogged down by this problem. I beg to suggest we can still bag the opportunities offered by Cloud services. As usual, we need to procure Cloud services with our eyes open to the problems and pitfalls associated with IT systems and services. Think about backup and restore, security, availability, service levels and agreements, service credits, disaster recovery and business continuity.

To reprise:

Don't let the Big Bug Bog down your thinking. Bag the opportunities going Begging.
