Need some advice/ideas/recommendations...

Hey fellow members, i am in the process of expanding my little business, therefore i have come up with the following idea and i would like some feedback on it. Plz feel free to indulge in constructive criticism as i need all the help i can get. Thanks in advance...

I'm looking to provide an online storage service. Basically, i am offering anywhere from 1TB to 15TB of online storage ( Larger request's will be accommodated up to 45TB) to small businesses and entrepreneurs to handle anything from backup of existing databases/network drives to hosting of Vmware images or anything of the sort.
Backup of current CCTV DVR's (analogue & IP) will also be accommodated. I haven't finalised the pricing as yet, but i want to see what feedback i get so just putting the word out. One of the biggest advantages i see to choose my service over any of the present online alternatives is that i am based in good ole T&T so in the event of a need to access your data, whether it be to restore or otherwise, i can deliver a hard copy of the content to any customer at a moments notice instead of them having to restore over the net, which considering the size can take a while.
I will update the list of services as time allows. Talk nah!!!

Good idea, the online backup. At the same time, what security measures do YOU have in place for YOUR storage facility. Not to mention, what is to stop them from going with a FLOW/ TSTT internet+voice+TV+Backup superpackage. What's going to make your service better?

Well i'm glad you asked LQDSNK. To answer your questions,

1. My Storage Facility will be monitored via a 24Hr CCTV System.
2. Said Facility is located in an area that is not subject to flooding or other environmental hazards.
3. All Equiptment will be connected to UPS Back-up.
4. Facility is Air Conditioned.
5. Truthfully, i can not compete with the established ISP's since they are geared at providing an entire package which I believe will greater appeal to the larger companies. I however am aiming to accomodate the smaller companies who do not have a seperate budget for an IT Department and are looking for a reasonable alternative to the monopoly.

P.S - Last i checked, Flow had a service called Data Hosting which they estimate rates starting at TT$5,500 for half rack. Not sure if that is still the case but i'm gearing to be more reasonable. I'm really trying to bring that personal feel to the table and at this time i want to start this service with maybe 5 small to medium size companies, each controlling a dedicated 3TB of storage.
