Well, if the system is built with technology and by people who take security
seriously, a cloud system can be OK. For example, my old officemates,
Aspera, makes software that allows high speed file transfer...Way beyond
what you can do with FTP. Used by WETA, Technicolor, NBC, Apple (for content
owners sending their material to the iTunes Store), and so on. So they get
the media space. Their stuff is also used on some cloud computing efforts.
And more significantly for this discussion, their software is used by the US
Department of Defense, the NSA, and so on to transfer super classified
information over open and closed worldwide TCP/IP networks like (the closed)
JWICS and SIPRNET... OK, I¹m getting out my depth here....I¹m not even sure
I got those last two acronyms correct.

Aspera will be at NAB again, I¹m pretty sure:

The point is, people way more concerned about security than James Cameron
and Steve Jobs move data over TCP/IP. So Avid or someone could build a cloud
system that works for folks like us and isn¹t too risky. ³Could² doesn¹t
equal ³will.² Guess we¹ll see more at NAB...
