Rather, Cloud9 seems to be a third-party that helps you migrate your IT infrastructure to the cloud. I think the point is the cloud adopter has to weigh potential cost savings or new opportunities with the risk, and in the post I've tried to show that these risks are still hard to evaluate.

As a non database person, it makes the issues crystal clear. Do you have thoughts about the advertising campaign that Cloud9 (which I assume is Amazon?) is running on Bloomberg? The pitch is we have deep experience in managing financial firms like hedge funds, etc. The further pitch is cut your IT costs by 50% in the first year. If it's true, it seems to me to pass the "why wouldn't I do that?" test. Thank you for the post. As a non database person, it makes the issues crystal clear.
