There must be hundreds, but since Gordon was a contributor to this thread, let's say you need to have some specific VoIP<->PSTN gateway hardware compatible with kit you have at other sites. You *might* be able to find someone who would provision it on a rental basis, but they'd more than likely want an arm and a leg to do so and have no local familiarity with the kit in question. If you wanted to rent the same hardware at multiple sites it becomes even more difficult. You might also need to provide your own hardware if you have issues with physical security and must demonstrate that you have made all reasonable attempts to prevent anyone, including data centre staff, from getting physical access to the hardware in a server.
