Look out George! Next time, you might get hit by an EMC backup server falling out of a cloud.
Just before the piano fell
Companies seem to have voted with their feet and EMC recently announced they are pulling their “Cloud backup service” Atmos out of the Cloud because not enough customers are interested.
Why on earth would one need Cloud backup if one has Cloud applications!? In fact, come to think of it, EMC should be offering the exact opposite: old fashioned physical backup for Cloud applications…It just goes to show that Cloudwashing isn’t enough. Before you put something in the cloud and offer it to your clients, one would be advised to check whether there is any demand for it.
