I'm told that older datacenters are maxed out on power consumption, not physical space. It seems that companies with storage-intensive needs could get great deals for colo if they used SSDs along with low wattage processors. Of course, for $4K/TB, it doesn't makes sense. However, when prices drop or someone makes slow-but-cheap solid state storage (for long tail stuff, not OLTP), things will get very interesting.
