Dear HT, We are analyzing whether or not to make our own cloud, that is a server we own and control, or pay a third party to give us server space. In case we went with a third party owned and operated cloud, who might you recommend? Google, Amazon S3, EMC? For example, our current online data back-up is Jungle Disk which uses the Amazon S3 'backbone' (right language?). So another way we could work is, we use these services and use a local person or persons for support, service, maintenance. Is there one firm who's excellent at both our cloud server AND data storage/back-up? We'd likely need our data to be encrypted and we plan to use PGP on all our hardware and e-mail communication.
