I think in this case, the way business tends to look at it is, they no longer need to pay the people who were there to support that hardware, and can either release them, or move them to another part of the company. Plus, one advantage touted for "cloud" systems is you can configure the system to use the minimum needed, then when more power is needed (say, end of quarter reporting) add capacity, rather than having to buy hardware with the capacity for the end of quarter, but that capacity will spend most of the year essentially idling.

To be honest, even with a fairly busy home system, you'll likely be OK with a regular consumer-grade drive.
