Redundancy Advantage
No matter much redundancy a Cloud Platform claimed it has, there is STILL at least one Single Point of Failure - itself. Whether it is faulty equipment, software vulnerability, changed usage terms, billing error, dishonest employee, changed usage terms or persistent hacker ... there is no redundancy for the company itself.
Data centres used by Cloud Platforms are large in size, power hungry, highly visible, making them easy targets:
- for surveillance in times of peace
- for destruction in times of war
Private Cyberspaces are distributed in millions of homes and offices making focused attack much more difficult.
