Rackspace vs. Amazon — the Cloud Wars

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-hear-the-music dept.

fdicostanzo writes "The folks at Mixpanel are leaving Rackspace's server cloud for Amazon and have left a little note about their reasons. There's been some talk that Rackspace's offering has not been up to snuff once you scale. Analysis suggests that Rackspace's offering still has some advantages however."

    Seriously, get some good writers BESIDES yourself and get actors who can actually ACT! And while you're at it, less CGI would be good and a couple more space battles....eh...what?
    Oh, 'The Cloud Wars' isn't the title of the next Star Wars movie? Oh, sorry.

    It is a period of civil war. Rebel Linux admins, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Microsoft Empire. During the battle, GNU spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, ISS, a system that brings any self-respecting admin to tears. Pursued by the Empire’s sinister agents, Tove Torvalds races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the network.
