Data Centers, Specifically Co-location environments, benefit a business on more then just security, fire, and safety concerns. Business who work through the right Co-Location environments have access to multiple ISPs, more so then if they were hosting in an office or fixed data center environment. Giving them the savings of having multiple ISP competing for their business, as well as the convience of choosing which carrier best suits their needs. Even the ability to start with the more cost effective solution before upgrading to the more powerful solution that a growing company will no doubt need, is a huge benefit

Power is another large benefit of the co-location industry, the ease in which you can move your environment from one location to another based on the ever fluctuating price of electricity costs in our industry is important. That in it self has major impacts on the cost of operating your servers.

The extra competition of co-locations fighting for your business helps drive the industry to develop more cost effective ways of doing business. Rather then one company focusing on one problem, you have an entire industry working on solving multiple problems.

Oh and Scalability, it is easy to grow in an environment purpose built to be expanded on (I.E. Co-Locations), as apposed to trying to knock down walls for your sever closet

That's why I believe Data Centers benefit business
