    Cloud Intelligence, Performance Cloud Servers Lead To Network I/O Boost

    At Glassdoor, we provide a frank and honest look at jobs and companies for employees and employers – from salaries and reviews to interview questions and rating the best places to work; we collect a lot of data. We’re an intelligence gathering business, of sorts. One thing we’ve learned along the way is that data is great; but it is relatively useless if you can’t learn from it and act on it. We saw this first-hand recently when we were bringing up a new NoSQL cluster in the cloud and it just wasn’t performing the way we had hoped. Read Barry’s Full Blog PostLink

  • Case Studio: bitlancer

    Bitlancer is a Platform-as-a-Service designed to help businesses move to and grow in cloud environments with strong support packages and consulting on various database, systems and development platforms. While many technologies and workloads can easily be split across multiple, commodity cloud instances, some often find themselves in situations where a need for consistent and fast I/O is important. Fortunately, we recently had the opportunity to test out the recently-released performance SSD cloud servers offering at Rackspace – Rackspace Performance Cloud Servers. We have always felt that Rackspace had the right idea for Cloud Servers from day one, and the addition of performance SSD-backed instances is yet another example of this consistency.” —Matt Juszczak, Founder, Bitlancer
