Different groups selling different things. OpenStack still around, albeit a shell of it's former scale
Per usual, Rackspace is about 18 steps behind everyone else
Why would a company have 40,000 VMs?! The scale of computing resources is always astronomically different to what I think a service would need.
They sell VMs...
.... You do realize that they still have hundreds of thousands of VMs in their OpenStack services? Those are VMs too.
Hell back in 2008 Slicehost had more than 40k VMs before Rackspace bought em.
Wait till you hear about places like AWS or Azure....
The article specifically states rackspace are only moving 50 VMs.
The client moving 40,000 is unnamed.
