Autodesk and the Cloud?

[robert.tupa]

Is anyone else pondering Google for file storage and how Content Center and Vault would/would not work with it?  We'd love to get our IT down to just an internet connection.  However, database type software and file storage seem to be a roadblock. What is Autodesk's position on "the cloud"?

Search the web for 'Autodesk' and 'Cloud' and you'll find ample reading on the topic.  Here are a few starters

Lots of good rendering and simulation stuff.  But, I'm talking about getting rid of local servers for file storage (Vault) and content center for Inventor.  Any plans there?

You could use Buzzsaw for offsite storage, but it's been a long while since I've seen how it works.
