Petition for Google to offer a Google Apps Appliance
To: Google, Inc.
Google has a hardware product called the Google Search Appliance (http://www.google.com/enterprise/gsa), a search engine that stores all its data on hardware the purchaser owns and controls.
Google also markets Google Apps (http://www.google.com/a), a suite of web-based applications that store all their data on Google's servers. Businesses are encouraged to subscribe to Google Apps to provide their employees with email, IM, calendaring, word-processing and other office applications, accessed over the web and without any investment in IT or server hardware. This also means that all email, instant messaging logs, calendars, documents, and other information is stored on hardware owned and controlled by Google.
We the undersigned ask Google to offer what might be called a Google Apps Appliance, a hardware product that will host Gmail, Google Talk, Google Calendar and Google Docs (including spreadsheets and presentations), and Google Sites. The Google Apps Appliance should store all data on hardware controlled by the purchaser of the product rather than on Google's servers.
We request this because we wish our employers to use the applications in the Google Apps suite, but they are unwilling or unable to store business secrets and other confidential information on Google servers.

Unfortunately, it is probably too late - we'll be getting Exchange because of our fear of hosted data.

I am proposing our group buy Google Apps premium. The downside for us is that we can't use it for customer data, the bread and butter of our work. An appliance with encrypted backup to the Google cloud would meet our needs.

Currently the Patriot Act makes it impossible for us to use Apps as a Hosted Service. I would buy an appliance in a second.
