#Cloudburst 2011 movie

Once we’re storing everything in the cloud, what’s to keep us from losing everything in the cloud?Īnd in the short term we’re going to also see a lot of cloud screw-ups. Some cloud computing outfit is going to quickly and quietly shut down, taking with it the data (business, photos, video, memories, etc.) of tens of thousands of users. There’s also the issue of what happens when some cloud service goes out of service permanently? These are startups, remember, and a good percentage of startups fail. Imagine what would happen if the cloud became a zombie. We haven’t seen a cloud virus or a cloud trojan - yet - but we will. Everything in IT fails eventually, though the big myth is that won’t happen with cloud computing.

That further means 2011 will be the year that cloud computing lets us down. SKE titles include United 93, The Kite Runner, and Lars and the Real Girl as well as the comedies Adventure/and and Death at a Funeral.If 2010 was the year of cloud computing that means 2011 is the year we’ll actually start using it in earnest.
