Boutique Public Clouds?

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Even though cloud adoption is taking off, there are still plenty of concerns out there. Where is the high availability? Where is the  security?  Where is the customer service we are so familiar with from the best of breed managed hosting providers?  You know, the kind of service ethic that gets engineers on a conference bridge at 3AM to crack root cause on a customer outage. There is a real opportunity out there for a Service Provider to create a public cloud offering that caters to high stakes environments.  Is there a hybrid business model that combines the beauty of cloud elasticity with more robust engineering support?  Can it work?

Who’s doing this?
