Or they could be moving to an entirely new stack — soup to nuts: hardware, storage, hypervisor, etc. That would be too much to do in 2 days though.

If it was cloudstack to something else transition, i'm sure it would have been flexible enough to do gradual migration that would be nearly seamless. This looks to be much larger that they cant lower downtime, hence storage followed by some other backbone change - would be the primary suspect.

I’ve read some stuff from this year saying that they were baking their own: http://www.eweek.com/cloud/verizon-terremark-cto-tells-how-company-built-its-own-cloud.html but I also recall some stuff around them using cloudstack (or a commercial distribution) Keen to know. Its not OUR problem that a cloud provider has major downtime , but there could be some fallout-by-association if this story escalates.
