That little symbol with the golden kangaroo in the middle and
the "Australian Made" slogan is so helpful when trying to
buy a new pillow or can of tomato soup.
Unfortunately, in IT world, data storage suppliers don't
display an "Australian Stored" symbol on their
paraphernalia.
You may be thinking:
I don't really care where my data is stored as long as
it's safe and I can always get it.
or
Cloud computing is all the rage and advertised so heavily,
it must be OK.
You may not know this but in the US the government has the right
to confiscate your data if it's stored in the US. That may seem
farfetched for your business but if you're in the cloud or use
an international data storage company, it's likely that some or
all of your data is stored in the US.
