One thing that helps to drive this is the amount of support staff that can be available remotely. I work in a company with a large on-site data center, but I haven’t actually been in the data center for several years, even though it is located less then 50 feet from where I sit.
I like this idea very much. With technology going at the current rate you can sit far from the actual datacentre and still provide support. I grew up in the countryside and now am living in Johannesburg. I would give anything to go back to the small towns again. Steve, organize me a greencard and a plane ticket and I will come work for you.
