"We recently added a new backup machine with a crappy CPU, little RAM, and 24 2TB drives in a hardware RAID 6 configuration. You can’t get that from a cloud provider and if you find something similar it’s going to cost an order of magnitude more than what we’re paying."
I tend to agree with his points but, for back ups the cloud is perfect. If he stayed in the cloud, he wouldn't even need the server in question.
