Re: Competition is great!
Nope small companies just can't compete at cloud level.
They would have to build several DC's with all the costs, have to buy all the equipment in at near normal pricing and then pay the staff.
Well given the number of data centres HMRC currently operate, Amazon will be having to build several new DC's in the UK to satisfy the HMRC requirement: "We need resilience in data centres and we need someone who can hold that data for us."
Which raises the question whether part of the deal is that Amazon takeover a few of HMRC's datacentres.
