Re: Power 11 and software vendors?

That would seem to be an unfounded fear...as least as far as business
computing is concerned.

The big guys, AWS, Microsoft, Google and IBM both allow you to choose the
region to operate in.

I'd expect any competent smaller guy to be able to tell you what region
you'd be using.

Pat,

The biggest issue I have with "the cloud" is not knowing where my data
actually resides and who would have access to it that I wouldn't be able
to know of or control. Further, if it's in some 3rd world country I
have to be aware of any connectivity issues between me and there, not to
mention any political issues going on there or between me and there that
would potentially cause service distruption.

I sleep much better knowing where my data is and who controls it.

There is a "cloud first" mantra

Here in Europe, people finally start to think if it's a good idea to

outsource more or less complete IT operations to some more or less
arbitrary company who is mainly after your money. And there will always be
security issues and increased complexity. Too many promises, too many "save
money", too many shocking bills. Yes, cloud can be comfy, but is it worth
the price?

Rhetorical question.

I hope IBM gets back to remember what the M in IBM means.

:wq! PoC
