- Data import/export. FedEx is the highest bandwidth service there is. I recall something I heard about over 20 years ago about scientists shipping whole machines with multiple drives inside, this is just that, industrialized.

- Reserved IPs. This is a big one for me. Our plans are to be able to have a lab that we can trash/crash/rebuild at will. We are doing SharePoint, so domain names matter and having to update DNS after each rebuild would have made it less fun.
