According to the recent [A href="http://bit.ly/fss5p0"]Top 15 performance rankings[/A] by CloudSleuth.net, Rackspace snuggles right in between Amazon EC2 East — just a a few nanoseconds slower in response time — and EC2 West — not quite a second faster. They seem to be the only non-Microsoft, non-Google, non-Amazon provider that holds its own with those big boys.
