Hi!
Why all the rave? Well..it is new..and promises a great many things. Cost savings and high-availability are very good things to a great many people.

Sadly..it has failed to live up to much of the hype the PR and advocate people have given it. The reality is things do go down..and data does disappear. It is not as redundant and reliable as they said it was.

It is very expensive compared to normal solutions...and I think recent downtimes have made more than a few rethink this..and question some of the promises made as nothing more than more lies to just make more money.

I think many solutions will have to change if they are to survive. I also think it wise for people to be very selective on host selection...and be very clear on expectations up front..as they may not be met down the road.
