&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; - For some companies the $1,000/sq foot average construction costs<br>&gt;&gt; keep the idea of building an in house datacenter off the table.<br>&gt;&gt; - For small (100 sq foot) installations it&#39;s reasonable to purchase a<br>
&gt;&gt; medium sized UPS and HVAC for the computer room - the nightmare is<br>&gt;&gt; getting a generator installed and a permit for the exhaust and fuel<br>&gt;&gt; storage.<br>&gt;&gt; - Even installing fiber into your office<br>
&gt;&gt; (<a href="http://www.phyber.com/ip/#ontap" target="_blank">http://www.phyber.com/ip/#ontap</a>) doesn&#39;t give you the rapid scale of<br>&gt;&gt; being able to order new GigE/10Gig circuits overnight at a colo.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; How much would it cost your business per hour of downtime? Could you<br>&gt;&gt; survive if you lost service to your building for two days?<br>&gt;&gt;<br>&gt;&gt; For most it is way easier/cheaper to colocate the equipment.<br>
