> just $142/day<p>I would love to see a deeper financial analysis of your scenario that consider the other variables mentioned like ops team, bandwidth, power, and cabinet rental. Also it's important to be honest about the initial investment needed, there's a component of upfront capital cost that could be invested elsewhere in the business that a simple price per day cannot account for. If you can't support that upfront investment, my assumption is that it may be better to remain with cloud services just because the cost structure is more predictable.
