A recent incident with a cloud service provider has left their clients with absolutely nothing in their accounts, no data, mail, applications etc.  This includes the two backups that the cloud provider had believed were secure and safe.  We have a suggestion that all need to consider.

We define hype and marketing and compare these terms.  We then list just a few of the “new” technologies that are in the press recently and leave it to the listener to determine the hype or marketing category.  Yes, we have suggestions!
