I think Rackspace is now entirely on top of AWS, whereas before they used to be a competitor in the cloud space.
- alfredallan1 8y agoMight I ask for a source on that? I know that they provide services for AWS, but they still have their own offerings just the same. There’s no real reason for Rackspace to dump its massive existing infrastructure and move to AWS. So the only new thing is a service department for AWS customers.
- ddtaylor 8y agoA sales person from the company contacted me a while ago to offer services, Jessica De La Garza <Jessica.DeLaGarza@rackspace.com> and talked about their services. They have always been about their "Fanatical Support"
- alfredallan1 8y agoYes, they do support AWS instances on behalf of clients. It is indeed a new service they’ve added to their roster. But their own servers, networks, all product offerings are what they were.
- ddtaylor 8y agoThe sales woman must have taken a bit of liberty with her words. I haven't used them in a couple of years, I did really like their "Cloud Sites" offering they had.
