There is the compliance angle (privacy, retention, etc), but there is
also the question of "resilience." Will the service be present when you
need it. If the service is unavailable (for whatever reasons), when will
it be restored. If the service goes down, how much data will be lost?
These are all good questions.....and from what I've seen on a casual
(not scientific) review of offerings....NO VENDOR currently can provide
availability or data-loss (RTO and RPOs, for those in the business)
information. Perhaps the market is young, but to be a serious
offering....demonstrated recovery ability and (for healthcare), "no loss
of data" will be necessary.
