I was wondering what the thoughts of the community were on this. When does
it make sense to co-locate and when does it make sense to have an in-house
DC? What are the deciding factors?
I prefer hosting on other people's hardware, and making sure my business
isn't tied down to physical lines. Not only is this cheaper, but it makes
my business more agile, because I can move operations overnight without
any interruption in service.
As for your question, when your monthly colo bill is 20% more than your
in-house estimated costs, and the amount of money you need to spend on
infrastructure is less than 300% of your monthly colo bill, and you have
the cash available to do so, that's when you switch.
eg. Monthly Colo bill $10k/month
In-house est cost $8k/month (or less)
In-house prep/build $30k (or less)
Also, if you have a migrane from dealing with your colo, or you hate them,
or they go down all the time, it's time.
