I've played around with similar SOC boxes for cheap VMWare labs, and this is a nifty exercise in savings and control from providing your own equipment for hosted services.
I'm a little confused about their example of Colos being Macs. PC based colocation has been a thing for at least a decade to my own personal knowledge and probably much longer. (Also why would you...
