I recently read a blog post from Github about them operating their own datacenter http://githubengineering.com/githubs-metal-cloud/ http://githubengineering.com/githubs-metal-cloud/
Im not positive, but it sounds like a fairly recent switch from a cloud provider to their own datacenter. If thats the case, Id expect a number of outages to come in the following months.
