Sure, but for very different levels of 'barriers to access'. For someone to get access to your data in a colo facility the amount of effort would ( should! ) be a lot higher than being able to access something from a shared resource. Besides, there would be potential to monitor for external access to your data in a colo facility, in the cloud you might never find out how else got access to it. -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc -- Gllug mailing list - [email protected] http://lists.gllug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/gllug
