SUMMARY:There are lots of potential cloud workloads out there but there are also about a zillion clouds. Is there really enough paid work to support them all?
Here’s the narrative that cloud vendors would like us to believe: there are infinite workloads flowing to clouds of infinite capacity. There’s enough business for all, keep moving.
Rackspace did add 4% more servers quarter to quarter. So even though there may be some pricing issues, bottom line the server growth was only 4%.
Total server count increased to 94,122, up from 90,524 servers at the end of the previous quarter.
