If you need or want local servers and local storage, go for it.

If you want rid of local hardware and/or local staff, host it.

Given AWS can meet US HIPAA requirements, higher-end hosting options 
are available.

Irrespective of what some might want, OpenVMS is going to have to 
operate hosted.

Which is part of why I've grumbled about the difficulties around and 
the security around installations and deployments, but I digress.

And yes, we've all heard about both hosted losses, and about local data 
losses, and about disaster-tolerant clustering, and about local and 
hosted service outages.
