we are still way cheaper than before at a previous company.
No need to worry about maintaining/monitoring HVAC (plus emergency AC systems) generators, security systems, water intrusion alarms, fire suppression, backhaul links..
Secondary site for DR that has duplicates of everything else.
Firewalls that can handle the actual IPSec traffic on those backhaul links. (large Junipers are not cheap)
Crazy lead times on new systems (months?!), and needing to size everything to fit our peak load. (we have some machines that add 12x more CPU to the database servers, run their reports in an hour, then remove all those extra CPU's now.)
