A big thing that is missing is dropped packets. Our IT director moved everything offsite with the same justification, and now we constantly have issues because our front-end software does not handle dropped packets well. Edit: Also, in 10,000 ns, light travels about 3 km in a vacuum. I know latency is addressed a bit in there, but our closest DC is about 70 km away from our main office. That's a pretty substantial hit on latency, especially considering our servers still have spinning discs in them.
