The exit of
RackSpace from the IaaS market is an omen of foreboding. The Clouds are coming,
and with it the biggest storm that IT has ever witnessed. Tier 2 and 3 players
will be washed away from local markets and specific industry verticals if they
do not prepare. This event is much bigger than the Y2K that had us all sweating
on that New Years Eve.

MSP/CSP Survival.

Solutions take over the industry it will be survival of the fittest – and the
smartest and the most innovative. Be sensitive to your clients’ needs; do not just heap tin on them and
call it a solution or you will be sorry – very sorry.
So, the race is
on. Will the market discover the holes in the MSP/CSP offerings and close them
out to face the storm? We will find out soon enough.
