A few ideas for protecting your company against vanishing cloud services
gigaom.com
on 05/03/2013
Excerpt: Summary: If startup history tells us anything, it’s that the majority of cloud services launched in the past few years won’t be around forever. The fact that they just vanish into the ether makes the problem quite perplexing.
