Rackspace and Virtualization

The use of virtualization at Rackspace has been a topic of interest since the company released a customer survey last August which highlighted the challenges of virtualization, including customer resistance to sharing virtualized resources. When Rackspace launched dedicated virtualized servers in January, some media reports said the company had backtracked on its previous stance.

Tarry Singh at Virtualization for Everyone has posted an interview with Rackspace CTO John Engates exploring the companies' virtualization strategy, as well as its "data centers as a service" and cloud computing.
