This morning I was reading on a forum about a data center in Los Angeles that offered some amazing amenities to it’s clients, but at a significant price point. Among those were showers in the rest rooms, a cafeteria, a lounge area with an X Box, a PlayStation and vending machines. Yet another had a putting green. They’re a publicly traded corporation and their stock has remained stable over the past year (low customer churn).

Yet, as I talk to business owners, I hear countless strategies of thrift – downsizing budgets and cutting out frills. It should be every providers goal to give, at least, the perception that their services are a value-add to their clients. Not everyone needs 30TB of bandwidth, or 1.5TB RAID-10 arrays … or putting greens at their data center. LOL
