Uptime in the cloud is better?
If what Adrian is saying is correct, than the simplified environment and automated functions of the cloud are a better guarantee of uptime than building and running your own data center with exactly what you want.

The cloud imposes uniform infrastructure and (hopefully) tested management techniques.
