This is great information and in light of the AWS outage of last week - I would recommend a hybrid model. Just as you recommend AVPC be used for dev/testing - you could potentially achieve an ideal hybrid by deploying some smaller % of the

This is something I have been wondering about; it would be good to be able to have space in a cloud DC - where you can have a rack or ten of your own equipment as well. Thus being able to leverage both. I don't know if it is offered at all
