Another alternative is to use a cloud provider that give subscribers the option to choose where their cloud computing work takes place. For example, Terremark Worldwide Inc. is giving its subscriber Agora Games the option to choose where its applications run. Terremark has a Miami facility but is adding other locations. In the past, Agora had no say over where Terremark hosted its applications and data.

Some cloud providers don’t meet current compliance requirements regarding security, and some of those providers, such as Amazon, have asserted that they don’t intend to meet those rules and won’t allow compliance auditors on-site.
