I'm a customer of Rackspace and was referred by another customer. We are both located in Rackspace's Dallas data center and neither of us experienced any impact from recent power/cooling events. On both occasions though we’ve received information and updates about problems occurring, and that they “could” be impacting. It seems that Rackspace has a number of high profile customers, and when just one of two of them are impacted it’s automatically reported as a blackout, and that’s not the case. I’ve had great reliability with Rackspace. From the information that has come out about the most recent incident, it seems there was minimal customer impact (considering the overall size of their data center).
