For highly tech savvy areas of the world like where I am (nicknamed “Silicon Beach”) and also a number of large national healthcare companies I visited in the Great Lakes area of the USA, there is a strong philosophy about deploying your own private colo type facility so that you have total possession of everything. Even smaller companies might prefer to lease Dedicated Servers rather than run on somebody else’ virtual platform.
For these companies, investing in their tech ensures total control of their assets.
