The new generation of Rackspace Cloud servers strong improvement over the first generation.
Pros and Cons
- "The new generation of Rackspace Cloud servers are a strong improvement over the first generation."
- "I had a few instances where techs on off hours made extremely bad decisions, resulting in extended site outages lasting hours."
What is most valuable?
The new generation of Rackspace Cloud servers are a strong improvement over the first generation. Performance is improved significantly, and the new dashboard gives managers more information.
What needs improvement?
I feel that the managed services Rackspace is known for have fallen off a bit. I had a few instances where techs on off hours made extremely bad decisions, resulting in extended site outages lasting hours. Make sure techs are fully trained.
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.
