I’m conflicted. On one hand Rackspace used to have some great offerings and tech chops and then (wisely?) became a cloud intermediary.
Is AWS professional services for a company that has went through the transition Rackspace has worth a $100m IPO? (Assuming I read the S-1 correctly).
- czbond 6y agoI am only familiar with Rackspace of about 10 years ago. Beyond the marketing speak, what is their competitive advantage? Are they doing AWS prof serv?
- rorykoehler 6y agoThey do AWS professional services since last year (I think) but we mainly use them for support as AWS doesn't cater for companies our size with their pricing.
- sjm-lbm 6y agoYeah, they acquired Onica which was/is a decently sized AWS prof services company. Not sure how much they were doing before then.
- ericcholis 6y agoGCP, AWS and Azure now as well. They still have a bunch of on-metal, physical, and cloud customers as well.
- leetrout 6y agoAh I didn’t realize that.
- bluedino 6y agoYou pay them so your ops team has someone to blame
- huac 6y agofwiw 100M is a placeholder amount for how much the company plans to raise via a stock sale; usually no bearing to the actual value/market cap of the company or how much the company raises
