I'm not trying to get across just cheap storage, but also specifically talk about services, applications, hosted applications, and infrastructure on data centers run by other companies.Mano Markshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07480503243910499765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5219216092017947898.post-8880541551157910882011-03-29T21:16:43.879-07:002011-03-29T21:16:43.879-07:00You should hate the word cloud there.
