How many massive outages does it take before companies realize all of that money they are “saving” by hosting clouds on ALT-CTRL-DEL hardware is costing them a fortune?

A cloud also requires multiple data centers in geographically and electronic grid optically isolated locations. In a world where you need uptimes measured in decades OpenVMS is the hands down winner.
