Depends on your target market. If the margins are high enough to support having your own H/W then of course it's nicer to have full control of the environment.
We own all our hardware, including network layer, in caged environments with our own offices & staff inside the DC also.
Thanks for all the interest, we also have this posted (higher price) on WHT and we've sold 6 out of 10 for sure with an order or two pending, so it looks like we have 1 or 2 left that we'll do at promo pricing, the rest will be used for list price orders.
@KnownHost-Jonathan I know you guys...

Confirm how much remote hands costs will be at various times of day and on holidays. Sometimes using non hotswap servers can incur extra charges, for example a lot of providers (us included) offer courtesy hands for hot swap items (drives, psus, etc).
It seems you don't have internal ipmi/kvm...
Dallas, LA, Seattle, NYC are chosen most often simply because they're the major peering hubs for their geographical regions. For instance most traffic going east to west in the USA will go through Dallas or Chicago. Most traffic going to the EU will go out via NYC. Most traffic going to Asia...

I don't want to get into s**t tossing, but my guess on config from a provider being secretive would be; single proc e3 pizza box machines, e.g. no redundant psu, no hot swap drives, and single SSD. Most providers have tons of those single psu, non hotswap, pizza box servers laying around, so the...
Thanks. The system supports "1x PCI-E 3.0 x8 and 1x Micro-LP" per node so a RAID card can be added if desired. Uses I had in mind were more along the lines of cluster based RAID, hence portable IPs and such to allow for instant failover etc. Per node RAID is definitely possible either with S/W...
