Nope it is not. Going on premise might have some advantages but it comes with completely different problems that you didn't even thought about. Some of them: * You thought of all the power redundancy, ideal cooling, humidity, etc... but then your office gets robbed and all your computers stolen. * Network wiring... some people are lousy, create an entire spaghetti mess with them, used a crappier type of cable, cable crosstalk from other equipment, someone stepped over a cable and damaged it. Which one is it? good luck finding it out. * Hardware fails, power supplies fail, disks fail, everything can fail. You can pick these battles, or you can focus on your software based service. I suggest the latter.
