CloudatCost Claims of Production

It's like a paid beta test, yet a beta is much better than this. This isn't even good for testing. It's barely even an alpha.
The stuff I have ran out of my house has better uptime than cloudatcost does.
Yup, even running on an inverted pyramid with an old Drobo B800i with RAID 6 over 100Mb/s iSCSI to a single Dell R510 gave us better uptime, way better IO (even from SATA drives) than this. Even faster recovery when the Drobo died, Drobo managed to replace the unit faster than 30 hours!

If I go somewhere and buy a product, I don't expect them to have to tell me it is "for production." I don't buy lumber and need someone to slap a "production" sticker on it. If you are selling it, you are standing behind it.
My dinner at a restaurant doesn't come out uncooked and me complain and the manager say "oh, that dish isn't in production yet."
CloudatCost sold us products, without a disclaimer that they were not ready but with a lot of marketing around how they were ready, and then, after they failed, one blame someone else and two then claim they were not production ready - like it was our fault for doing business with such shady people.
Okay, lesson learned. But don't think that you've made an excuse. You've thrown Fibernetics under the bus.

Oh, you weren't suppose to eat that. We have no idea if it will kill you or not. Sorry if it does. We haven't tested it yet, and didn't tell you it was safe to eat - even though we are a restaurant.
You see in the legal system there's this little thing called Common Expectations and well, it's kinda important.

CloudAtCost had many different services.
Developer and bigdog servers which were designed for development.
Enterprise cloud servers which is for mission critical customers.
CloudPRO which is the new version to replace developer/bigdog service with better reliability for production.Where are the responses to the uptime issues about the last outage two months ago? Several questions, especially around the redundancy that was advertised, were asked. A Q&A was promised. We've heard nothing since then. Then the same thing happens again.... still no answers.

Not surprised. something was fishy when the Q&A never happened. Cloud@closed is more like it

I backed up a copy of the video. I worry that it will be taken down from YouTube to make those claims of how awesome Fibernetics was go away.
-
As suspected Cloud@Costs image will affect Fibernetics.

They also seem to put this standard response to bad feedback.
Just to be clear, as we mentioned on another review, this review was submitted by a disgruntled customer we suspended for numerous abuses of our terms and conditions. We have reported this person, and his various aliases, to Facebook and will have this, and whatever else he posts on our page, removed as soon as possible.
-
Actually the only positive reviews are from Fibernetics employees (some who say they are customers first though) everything else is not good.

I giggled a little because this thread reminds me of:
Well, actually the whole scene
