Mosso: Freelance Camp San Antonio Sponsor | Freelance Camp

// January 27th, 2009 // Comments Off // Announcements, Community

We love supporting local Tech – be that in San Antonio or San Juan!

We’re proud to sponsor Freelance Camp San Antonio!  I plan on being there – probably from 10am-Noon (sorry, can’t be there all day).  But if you want to chat about cloud computing, Mosso, Rackspace, blogging, customers, Twitter, or what the Dallas Cowboys need to do to build a POST-SEASON team – stop by.  It is a great event with a great community behind it.

And we are glad to be part of it!

Imagine being able to provision a server in minutes. To upgrade it automatically. To bring servers up and down as needed. This is the idea behind Cloud Servers. Totally customizable, each Cloud Server gives you full root access to the Linux distribution of your choice. You pay depending on how large a server you buy.

Rackspace Has a Bit of Fun at Their 2009 Kick-Off – and the Cloud Does Too!

// January 27th, 2009 // Comments Off // Community

The Cloud-Man in the flesh on the “Runway”- All At Rackpace’s 2009 Kick off event!

Rackspace kicked off 2009 with a skit performed by its senior leadership team.  The skit was a takeoff on the TV Reality show “Project Runway”.

So Lew Moorman, SVP of Strategy, showed up all dressed up as – the Cloud!

The Cloud was built using multiple smaller clouds to symbolize the redundancy of the cloud.  As explained by the “designer”, Emil Sayegh, GM of the Cloud Division, while actually popping one of those balloons on Lew’s back: “If one pops, there are a multitude of others that can keep our customer afloat, and unaffected”. 

The “designer” Emil, is shown here:

  Emil explained that Cloud design was composed  of a revolutionary elastic material (Latex), “that stretches to accommodate the size of the customer, ‘petite’ to ‘plus’ sized customers”.  The Cloud is elastic, dynamic and flexible!

The event ended with good camaraderie, good food, and…a few kegs of beer.

No wonder we are one of the best 100 US companies to work for (again!).
