It continues to amaze me that nothing comes close to simply colocating a NAS.
If you colocate a NAS, there's a significant chance that you'll lose all your data.
Amazon and Google, quite sensibly, don't want the bad publicity which would come with losing their users' data, so they replicate across multiple datacenters -- even Amazon's reduced reliability storage replicates to two datacenters -- which obviously increases costs.
