In the modern computer industry one of the most fashionable areas are cloud computing. They are actively involved in such companies as Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Yahoo, are trying to convince consumers to use the proprietary version of the cloud. Nevertheless, problems in servicing many are forced to doubt that the clouds that function as external hard drives, computer centers and other resources are really so good.

One of the largest cloud services organized by Microsoft. Many owners of mobile phones use the cloud to store your contacts, calendar, IM and SMS, play digital content and other applications, as well as to store data from these applications. The service seemed a convenient and efficient.

Nevertheless, starting from Friday, 2 October, customers in the United States began to lose their data stored in the cloud. Access to many services had also been terminated. Only on Tuesday, 6 October, experts managed to restore the functioning of the clouds, but as a result of this failure, many of the personal data were lost, perhaps irretrievably. Now specialists are working to restore lost data, but unlikely to be able to recover quite a lot. The source reports that currently, sales of mobile phones that operate on the basis of computing clouds Microsoft, temporarily suspended.

The accident has put Microsoft in an awkward position. Producer, as a strong advocate of cloud computing technology, however, believes that the use of these principles will be simple and impressive. But now in question, even the production of new phones with the Microsoft code-named "Pink", which, as expected, will provide services through the clouds. When it comes to cloud computing, it becomes clear that, although the idea of perspective, poor implementation and lack of redundancy can cause a big headache for all parties involved.
