Your post deals with the technical issues for DR well. It'll be interesting to see if and when more OEMs sign up for the Phoenix Blackbox. Best Wishes Martin Claus

If I'm right in thinking that users don't care, don't know and in many cases can't find out where their personal data is located, then the regulators job becomes vital. In the UK they're tightening up on financial regulation in the Retail industry in October, but can't even handle virtual servers. Cloud applications will be excluded unless they gain a lot of knowledge before then. If they got turbo boosted they might even help to protect the local Managed Services market by encapsulating governence, data and privacy information issues in their rules, but it doesn't look likely. For the IT managers of services companies, focusing on issues of trust will help protect their organisations from legal action. However it's going to get even more difficult to handle the balance between modern applications, customer and citizen privacy. Can you tell us about the techniques they might develop to cope?

One of my clients, R1Soft, enables cloud-based data-protection services, but it starts with the outsourcing of web-hosting. Cloud-resident applciations are, I believe, another beach head for cloud-based storage services. It's an extension of the application. John Claus,

The IT budget has gone down - so if Symantec can reduce storage systems and communications spending through de-dupe, IT managers spending will go down despite the extra software costs. At least that's the idea. Oracle, VMWare, Microsoft have all succeeded at various times in the past. I believe Symantec will have a good go this time. Best Wishes Martin Claus
