Thanks for the update.

I still don't see what in that flashy web site (please excuse the pun)
promises that nobody but authorised personnel will gain access to your
servers. E.g. See SAS-70 requirements for data centre access control:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAS_70 or maybe better:
http://sas70.com/sas70_overview.html

The point that I took from Hetz' blog, and I'm saying too, is that the
organisation can hand wave as much as it like about "secure
facilities" but if there are no repercussions for its employees
failing to follow security procedures (like it losing its SAS-70
certification) then it's meaningless.
