your digital data, should you have some

Some might wonder purely for curiosity momentarily sent an impulse which extinguished soon enough and the notion has passed. Others perhaps even daily, seriously scratch their heads thinking how that would play – if it is not doing so already – a private cloud on-premises.

Those who contemplate an idea of kicking off a business which involves computer technology and cannot sleep well for questions about cloud and its possible application. Those who started already at home or in an office, continue to ponder over cloud idea and how it should improve such business and assure healthy continuation of it. All those to whom digital data is an integral and critical part or core of their business, to those Lemko proposes private cloud and a few short pages below for reading.

In 1996 Larry Ellison, of Oracle at the time, said “…Suddenly, when networking becomes fast and cheap, we have to rethink the kind of devices we attach to these networks. … we really have a mainframe on the desktop. We really have incredible power, and thousands of applications. The only problem is, that's not what I want [as a user]. I don't want to do backups, I don't want to do installations of operating systems, I don't want utilities to manage these things, which I think are unbelievably complicated--and I do these things for a living."

He continued “…When we talk about a network computer, a lot of people say, 'That's a dumb terminal.' These are not dumb terminals. What we're really doing is throwing the hard disk away. And instead of a hard disk, we give you a fast network connection and have someone else be responsible for maintaining what's on your hard disk. With a network computer, when there's a new version of the operating system and it's Thursday, when you turn the computer on, you get the new version…”

Bare in mind these words were spoken in 90's.
