The Amazon Web Services cloud outage lead to some contemplation from cloud computing leaders such as Krishnan Subramanian. I'm wondering if the FBI raid on co-location host DigitalOne will lead to some similar considerations.
Colos aren't cloud in most senses of the word, but multi-tenant cloud providers are at least as vulnerable to this sort of problem. There are ways to mitigate the problems, such as fail-over servers with other cloud providers and encrypting data before storing in the cloud, but I don't think anyone wants to deal with this issue.

My take: the AWS outage and the DigitalOne raid are both events we all saw coming, or should have. Not necessarily from those particular providers, but the general situation. Both are part of the learning experience organizations are facing in migrating to the cloud.
