The calendar may show a different date but, the argument remains the same. Back in ’99 I had a protracted/heated exchange with my corporate ISP regarding DDoS attacks. Their logic was simple. Not our problem. They used the analogy of a cab. We get you there but, that’s it.
Ugh.
From ZDNet:
At a Cloud Law Summit in London on Wednesday, Microsoft’s head of legal, Dervish Tayyip, said the company would not provide financial guarantees against data-protection issues on cloud contracts.
“We’re not an insurance company,” Tayyip told ZDNet UK. “What is important is that customers understand the [cloud] offerings are standardised — they are what they are. If the offering does not meet customer needs, maybe the cloud is not a realistic offering.”
Wow. How not to win the hearts and minds of potential customers.
