Most of us still have servers located locally or perhaps in a local datacenter or in redundant regions throughout the world. The often-quoted phrase that the cloud is just someone elses server is partially true, but the reality is that it offers physical protection such as access controls and monitoring of who brings what into the datacent. Local servers do not have the same levels of backup generators or power grid redundancies that most datacenters consider standard. Multiple customers share the same space and may have different risks and needs.”]
