I was wondering the other day why HP wouldn't just buy Rackspace -- HP push into managed services, plus the OpenStack clouds at each, would make some sense.

- viraptor 12y agoThe offer is quite different actually if you look at it - Rackspace will take everyone with a credit card at the moment. Rackspace is stuck on a custom implementation of many things too - no real neutron networking, custom plugin for auth, very limited network management (even compared to public hpcloud). Then again they have new performance/SSD flavours available. There's also a big push for providing ready, packaged cloud infrastructure using HP Helion. That's not exactly what Rackspace guys are doing.
