On: Rackspace cloud beats Amazon EC2, by a lot

[acangiano]

An in-depth performance comparison published by an independent third-party: http://www.thebitsource.com/featured-posts/rackspace-cloud-s... Rackspace Cloud appears to perform much better than EC2 in the States.

This study was sponsored by Rackspace. It is based entirely on 2 benchmarks - iozone and linux kernel compilation time.... not exactly a thorough study. It also only tests m1 instances and ephemeral storage. Not a great study imo.
