- leesalminen 7y ago> yes, they're moving out of a profitable business where they have a lot of knowledge about. Rackspace is trying to get out of the public cloud game. We had $20k/mo account with them and the rep called me every month asking if we wanted their help (professional services) migrating to AWS. I was baffled but they admitted they don’t want to be in the Cloud game anymore and wanted to get customers off their platform.
- pm90 7y agoThe reason they’re moving out is because the cloud business is not profitable for Rackspace.
- kick 7y agoThe notification on their website is interesting: Rackspace announced that it has completed the acquisition of Onica, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Network (APN) Premier Consulting Partner and AWS Managed Service Provider.
