Well I have a question which is off the top of megaupload.com But it's regarding governments around the world using cloud services.Do we have others Canadians on this list who can confirm, what branches of the Canada Government are actively using public cloud services like google cloud services.
or are in the process are currently setting it up.-----Original Message----- From: Matthew Kaufman

I agree, Mike. Problem is that the communications infrastructure that enables these sorts of options is generally so reliable people don't think about what will happen if something happens between them and their data that takes out their access to those services. Imagine a situation where several municipal governments in, say, Santa Cruz County, California are using such services and there is a repeat of the Loma Prieta quake. Their data survives in Santa Clara county, their city offices survive but there is considerable damage to infrastructure and structures in their jurisdiction. But the communications is cut off between them and their data and time to repair is unknown. The city is now without email service....
But fortunately the data is also replicated in another data center nowhere near the quake, so once they pull out the mobile emergency operations center and aim the VSAT dish, they're back online with everything as it was moments before the quake hit... far superior to what formerly happened when the power or phone lines were down at their own facility, never mind what would have happened if their own facility with its infrequent backups to unreliable tape were destroyed.Matthew Kaufman
