You compared certain good points here, outstanding publish. thanks.
ReplyDeleteRackspace has servers in the UK as well as the US and also offers lbaas and a host of other services including access to Akami's content delivery network (CDN) for free on all Cloud Files data.
ReplyDeleteGoogle has datacenters all over the world which are touted as being some of the most secure anywhere.
I came across this and found it to be a misleading comparison at best.
