When I hear "cloud services" I think "in the network" even though it appears all these cloud services perform their work at a data center as an outsourced service. Is there a vendor that makes a product that perform spam/malware filtering literally in the network, i.e. as a service provider, can I provide spam filtering for the enterprises in my customer base by adding a piece of network gear? I'm not aware of one today except those who provide enterprise-oriented gateways like SonicWall.

(Re: Intrustion attempts from Amazon EC2 IPs) <snip> This is far different from free email Google or Hotmail - these cloud services (EC2, Mosso, Slicehost, Terremark's Enterprise Cloud, Telstra's new service, AppEngine, et.al.) are where many popular new Internet applications will live, and, even more significantly, where an increasing amount large-scale enterprise computing (like banking, pharma, government, and so forth) will take place. I foresee interesting times ahead. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <[email protected]> // +66.83.266.6344 mobile History is a great teacher, but it also lies with impunity. -- John Robb
