Great (not so known) cloud platforms

If you want to look outside the biggest players in the cloud computing (Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle) then there are some other vendors with a great offering. Here are few coming platforms worth adding to your consideration list.

1. Rackspace cloud (formerly Mosso)
Offers a good combination of cloud hosting, cloud files (CDN optimized), and cloud servers. For the moment, Windows virtual servers are in beta.

2. GoGrid
GoGrid offers an interesting combination of virtual servers, cloud storage, dedicated servers, and hardware load balancers. For enterprise level, GoGrid has a hybrid hosting with dedicated physical hardware.

3. RightScale
Reighscale is a cloud management platform, and leverages Amazon EC2 to allow you more easily deploy and manage business-critical applications on the cloud.

These vendors offers a wide range of services and flexibility at a price point, giving users great choices for their needs.
