I absolutely hate cloud solutions but in this case there's a big benefit in that the robbers can't steal or smash your servers.

They can do that to your networking gear though but by then hopefully their image has already made it to the cloud.



In general I wouldn't expect random street criminals to be able to specifically locate and identify and properly disable a nondescript server in a closet in the middle of a break-in. They're frantically looking for cash and jewelry and portable commodity electronics and firearms. Stuff they can pocket and scram and easily use or fence later.
