In 2005, notebook computers accounted for 50.1 percent of all computer sales. In 2006, shelf space for notebooks increased 44 percent while desktop shelf space went down by 23 percent. What does this have to do with a data center? Everything. At Journyx, where I manage IT, we presently have about 25 employees. Of those, 11 have laptops issued to them as their primary machine. One employee works remotely in another state. Therefore, half of our employees need constant remote access to our business.

you forgot a couple of things....
1. most likely clients will be accessing your server from the internet.. make sure that internet carriers has an equipment inside their premises for flexibility.. or if you wanted to use the data center's internet services make sure that it is redundant..
2. last, (which is for me the most important) ask for current clients or google for clients and call them.. ask for experiences etc... i don't want to be carried away by marketing stuff...
