it's a vision thing. i like the idea of responsible 1U-owners extending their digital footprint to all parts of the globe. most domestic residences don't have UPS, backup generator, or high speed IP with static global addresses. and there is no reason to try to solve that problem given the way-more-efficient 1U colo model.
On the other hand, if the person doesn't have a UPS at home, what good is when their SMTP server in a colo is still chugging? :) Rob Nelson ronelson@vt.edu
