Marcus Ranum asks “Would you outsource your data center to Baghdad?<\/a>“<\/p>\n

\n

\nAs I am writing this, US Marines and Iraqi troops are engaged in pacification operations (the nice word for “blowing the snot out of any resistance”) in the Iraqi town of Falluja. Perhaps by the time you read this Iraq will be a peaceful, stable democracy that offers a great climate for business, so this editorial might go out of date fairly quickly. Somehow, unfortunately, I doubt it. I suspect the climate for business in Iraq is going to be poor for the next few years, at least. So, mister CTO – would you outsource your data center to Baghdad?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It’s an interesting read and something to think about. What country do you think you’d want to outsource stuff to?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
