The experience is pretty much the same except for depending on how secure the facility is. Look for? Mostly costs.Unless you have some regulation requirements. Savings is going to be heavily dependent on what you do with the stuff there. If you have legacy stuff or huge full server usage (looking at you accounting systems) a colo can be a lifesaver. If you are 100% wiz bang 2.0 or whatever there is probably little reason to have a colo at all. Just make sure there is some provision for the fact that its not a one time cost and servers need replaced ever 5 years or so and parts need replaced. You don't want the "computers don't have moving parts why should we replace them" conversation when a critical server is on its last legs at 10years old or more.
