CloudSwitch
CloudSwitch was a cloud-infrastructure software startup founded in 2008 by Ellen Rubin and John Considine and headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts. Its flagship product, CloudSwitch Enterprise, was a downloadable software appliance that installed into VMware and Xen environments and enabled enterprises to migrate and run existing Windows and Linux virtual machines in public clouds such as Amazon EC2 and Terremark without re-architecting them, preserving networking and security boundaries. The company raised roughly $15.4M across two rounds from Matrix Partners, Atlas Venture, and Commonwealth Capital Ventures, and was acquired by Verizon in August 2011 and folded into its Terremark cloud services unit. The company is defunct: it operates no independent website, developer portal, or API, so this profile remains a historical portfolio-lead stub with no live surface to enrich.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
CloudSwitch is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — CloudSwitch scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

CloudSwitch is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
