Survey: Small Businesses Are Clueless About Cloud Computing
RackSpace recently published a survey on cloud hosting. The company asked 1500 small and mid-sized businesses in the US and UK what they knew about cloud hosting and if they intend to use it. The results of the survey may surprise you. One key finding was that there is a large gap between small and mid-sized businesses in their adoption of cloud hosting.
Mosso Adds Storage Service to its Hosting Stack
Mosso, the cloud hosting service from Rackspace, will today debut a file storage service called CloudFS. The new service will compliment Mosso's flagship end-to-end cloud hosting, the Hosting Cloud, which we reviewed in February, by providing unlimited, scalable storage. Mosso provides a more managed approach to cloud hosting services than some of its competitors, but CloudFS is a standalone API-based service comparable to Amazon's S3.
Mosso: Cloud Computing for the Rest of Us
Outages aside, there's no doubt that the rise of web scale computing platforms, like Amazon's EC2 and S3 services, have lowered the barrier of entry for Internet startups. Going completely serverless would have been unheard of during the late-90s dot com boom, but new cloud computing platforms have made it possible for small companies to scale quickly, easily, efficiently, and cost effectively. However, even if services like Amazon's have made hosting and scaling a web app more simple, there is still a good deal of server management involved. Enter Mosso, a Rackspace-backed company that merges the idea of cloud computing with the familiarity of a managed, shared environment.
