Not talking about data in the cloud @ x/gig. Talking about web page access for anyone and everyone to use existing apps? Did you retool everything for the Less is More lifestyle that the cloud needs? Do you see the cloud as the alternative because web demand swings hard and this way you can bring in more muscle as needed and free it as needed? Or you don't want to put up another data server for redundancy just on hardware $ alone? Still trying to find where the savings come in.
