Everything on-site for a couple reasons (50 servers). Mainly because as a manufacturing company, machines on the shop floor need to talk to the servers. This brings up issues of security (do you really wan to put a 15 year old CNC machine 'on the internet'?). Also, if our internet connection has issues, we still need to build parts.
The other big part of it is the mindset of management and the existing system, which was built to run locally, does Amazon offer cloud hosted Access and Visual Basic workers?
