Mosso is a Rackspace company. Sun N1 is very different than the rest of the services. The infrastructure for cloud computing has been in existence for many years. But only in the last 2 years there has been interest to commercialize this on a level that can be attractive to start-ups. This of course has to do with the fact that successful start-ups grow at a very fast rate and demand much more resources. Animoto for example grew from 50 to 3500 servers in just 3 days! This could not happen in the past with no upfront investment. Thanks for mentioning them! Mosso is a Rackspace company. Sun N1 is very different than the rest of the services.
