".....load balance across multiple cloud suppliers."
So, now we get VCs chucking a load of money at solving problems that the whole cloud thing was supposed to solve in the first place. i.e. scalability and redundancy.
I do so love slapping a cobbled-up patch over the obvious holes rather than fixing something so it does what it's bloody supposed to do. Still, stops things getting so simple that anyone can understand 'em and keeps us all in work I guess, so there is a bright side.
Is this cloud of clouds going to be THE cloud first thought of, or will we need more than one of these to stop it all falling on its arse too?
