As an application developer the VPS/cloud model is very appealing. So much so, I think you'd be nuts not to build a datacenter that doesn't target this market.

As an application developer the VPS/cloud model is very appealing. So much so, I think you'd be nuts not to build a datacenter that doesn't target this market. I'm not interested in floor space, dedicated servers, or supplying my own hardware. I'm really interested in how easily I can launch, update, and manage my applications -- everything else can be abstracted.
