Everything comes with a price. Is downtime more expensive than a colo? What I mean by this is every company needs to do a cost comparison of how much a couple of days downtime will cost them in lost revenue. If your company can stand a little downtime than maybe implementing a rotation with an off-site tape storage company is what you need. If your company would lose millions by being down for a few days, than the co-location option really isn't that expensive relative to what you would lose. Just my thoughts.
