Is the writing on the wall for on-premises IT? This survey seems to say so

Re: The cloud will get bigger

Exactly!... the reason why thereg is so responsive because it's being boosted by Cloudflare!

Re: Cloud access

That was the point. When your not on prem and are in the cloud you can shift your site from Virginia to Ohio to Oregon to Hong Kong to Frankfurt. The cloud has leveled the playing field by providing tools once only available to the largest enterprise organizations.

Re: Cloud access

That's the exact reason it's better to be in the cloud. Imagine if your on-prem gear was in Houston during Hurricane Harvey. If you had all your stuff in the cloud including phones you could leave Houston and continue on business as usual from somewhere that isn't under water.

Let's see Amazon had patches for Meltdown/Spectre deployed a month prior to the advisory was released.

My Amazon virtual machines have had several processor upgrades in the past few years. You don't buy a new server every year to run your software. This last vulnerability make almost all servers obsolete! Good luck clearing that SOC SSAE-16 on your old server gear. Cloud Services make disaster recovery affordable to the smallest shops. The way Microsoft is pricing their software you won't be able to afford on-prem solutions. Meltdown/Spectre and Harvey/Irma are wakeup calls to get off of on-prem solutions.

On premises is dead long live SaaS brokered services via SAML 2.0!

Microsoft & Paypal link hands, turn round and slap Apple Pay

Haha they are linking up because SquareUp only runs on Android/iOS and is now the industry leader.

Apple's 16GB iPhones are a big fat lie, claims iOS 8 storage hog lawsuit

Nexus line does not have a microSD slot either. Why? Because of security. If the device is used in the enterprise with proper mobile device managment policies enforced there is a certain degree of certainty that said device can be locked if not completely wiped when it beacons home. If an individual kept privy information haphazardly on a microSD card there is no way to ensure the safety of the data stored on it.

Google Nexus 7 2013: Fondledroids, THE 7-inch slab has arrived

Re: iPad Mini 2

Frank Bough is right the 1st gen Nexus 7 is garbage with non gorilla glass screen, tin sounding speakers, horrid battery life. Oh yeah and profiles is garbage too. If you have 2 profiles and each has the same app guess what that same app takes twice the space. Garbage garbage garbage.

With that being said if the new Nexus 7 rights those wrongs for the price it is a grand bargain.
