The only reason for multiple locations is if you are doing data replication. The bigger clouds do this, but for an extra price. Amazon I believe can provide this, but its an extra cost. In any scenario, if you take your business seriously, you are doing some sort of disaster recovery from one location to another. Most people dont because of the cost. Let me know if you need a lesson in virtualization. I am certified in both VMware and Citrix.
