Imagine you've set up your Project Blackbox datacenter to perform mission-critical tasks in a remote location. Wouldn't you want to know if it was opened, jarred unexpectedly, or if the temperature or humidity went too high? A myriad of things can happen when the systems are powered down that wouldn't be known to remote managers.
