Unreliable, unpredictable - and controlling your planes.

You're a bit late in the day, Logicalis have been on this for about 18 months!

This is a doomed f***-up of a project designed to run a generic compute internal cloud for what were previously stove-piped systems. It started off at 3-sites and with no lessons learned expanded to 5 sites at huge expense. In the middle of this NATS sacked their Head Architect - always a good sign!

Apparently no-one has any idea if the new apps will run fast enough, whether the datalinks are good enough or how your agile cloud can be changed without buggering everything else up. But then that's the cloud.

There's a stack of expensive kit but whether its good enough to run air-traffic management services on no-one has a clue. Betting is a complete primary systems failure twice in the first five years. Thankfully the big planes have ACAS so that should cut down on deaths.
