Each of us has been touched by the term “Cloud Computing” in some way. Either through experience using “public cloud services”, media articles, ravings from I.T. boffins, people naming dropping the latest techie terms etc. ... All most sources claiming it's the “greatest thing since sliced bread”.
Many organizations and people have jumped on the public cloud band wagon for various reasons. It's free or cheap. Data is safely stored with the minimum of hassle. It's flexible to access (anywhere, anytime, most any device). There are all sorts of neat applications that can be used to enhance use of the stored data.
All of the above is good stuff, until, reality bites back. In come the litigators, the legal authorities, the public cloud provider “Terms of Use” statements. The “take downs”, cloud service providers going out of business, the organization mergers/buyouts? Information owners who "thought" it was their data discover it's not or access has been cut-off.
