Yeah, not really sure how a globally distributed manufacturing operation with a complex supply chain and customers all over the world that need access to data for their operations is supposed to function effectively without it.

(and I say that as someone that used to sell commercial aviation data that came on CDs...)

You do know that the Internet and "the cloud" are not the same thing, right?

I don't think this is related to that "critical" stuff.

It seems there is a misunderstanding over the classification of 'critical' stuff.

We may all have a very different definition.

All I know: the second your are connected to internet, you are cooked.

		I'm not sure what the 'critical' stuff is either or what the details of Airbus' network hosting and knowledge compartmentalization strategy is, but you're not going to run a globally distributed manufacturing business with complex supply and maintenance requirements without having technical specs, CAD files, diagnostic criteria customer records etc sitting on computers connected to the internet.
