Thank you sir - this kind of info is pure gold. Softlayer - do they manage the servers or is that your datacenter and you manage the machines yourselves? Was looking at Engine Yard - they start at $17k for a cluster.
- blader 19y agoYeah we looked at EngineYard. They are good if you don't ever want to deal with deployment at all, but I really can't justify the premium. The 17K price quoted is probably for their basic cluster of 3 machines - we run on 10 now so it's probably going to be a lot more than that. SoftLayer is unmanaged, but they do have staff that can help you with sysadmin stuff for a fee.
