At the Rackspace Customer Event the week before last, I caught up with Mosso co-founder Jonathan Bryce. Jonathan walked me through how Mosso, now officially a Rackspace division, got started and where he sees it going.
Take a listen:

Jonathan chillin’ in the Baroque Westin Riverwalk lobby.
Some of the Topics we tackle:
- How while at Rackspace, Jonathan and a buddy moonlighted as web app developers and when they couldn’t find a place to host the apps and sites they developed, they got funding from Rackspace and created Mosso.
- How Mosso was being founded as people were getting burned by the undelivered promises of Utility computing.
- How Jonathan defines cloud computing (hint: it has three layers).
- The characteristics and examples of IaaA, PaaS, SaaS and where Rackspace/Mosso plays.
- The joy of 15 cents a GB per month storage that Mosso will be providing and which Blueprint will be leveraging in our next release.
- The relationship between Rackspace and Mosso and why the Mosso site is so much cooler.
- What role open source plays in the Cloud and Mosso.
Extra-credit
If you want to catch Jonathan live, he will be presenting at the Cloud Computing expo in San Jose November 19 – 21.
Pau for now..
