And to companies selling cloud services, they are trying to convince businesses to give up their LAN-based servers that they have total control over, and instead connect to servers, managed by a third party who “promises” they’ll make keeping them up their top priority, via a link that is probably at least 10x, and maybe 100x, slower than their LAN connection.
