You are inventing a problem that doesn't exist. I can literally have a cabinet in a first class data center in 2 days and it takes 15 minutes of my time. You save assloads of money this way vs AWS which is incredibly expensive. You can buy an equally performing server for the cost of a month of renting the VM from amazon (for the big ones obviously, you can't buy servers as slow as a ec2 large instance.)
- tinco 13y agoAlright, who in your company knows what hardware to buy at which datacenter for how much? What software is going to run on it? who picks that software? How do you get data onto it? How do you get data off of it? What happens when it goes down? How do you monitor it? How do you scale it to two servers? Or more? Who is going to do that? Who is going to know all that? Who else is going to know that so your company doesn't fail when the first person isn't around?
- andyjpb 13y agoExactly the same way as you do in the cloud: read the docs, write the script.

Who else is going to know that so your company doesn't fail when the first person isn't around? AWS solves precisely zero of those problems. It isn't magic pixie dust, it is renting Xen VMs.
