Have you considered Rackspace's OnMetal products or other IaaS providers that run bare metal, such as Joyent Public Cloud? If you are in such a rush, I'll suggest to factor in both the migration risk and the time to deliver said hardware. Fx the Joyent Public Cloud will allow you to have a mixed private/public cloud as their IaaS software, Triton, is open source and you can run it in your own hardware. Note: I'm not familiar with anybody running Ceph on illumos LX containers although.
