One problem I've had at every place employment I've worked at in the last few years is getting a VM which matches production to use as a sandbox. With this kind of thing it would make that a snap. "What's the difference between this and production?" "Nothing. It's the same image."
Not only that, but many enterprise systems are not just a server, or even a couple of servers, but a cluster of servers of various configurations.
With good bandwidth, you could pull the entire bunch down locally to use in dev and testing. That's unheard of as far as I know (although it has been the holy grail for some time) Businesses that start and grow in an environment like this are going to have significant advantages over older businesses.
