Rackspace Rolls Out Free Hybrid Cloud Migration Service

San Antonio-based cloud hosting provider Rackspace is making it easier for customers to migrate their traditional, virtual, and cloud servers to the Rackspace Hybrid Cloud, the company said Monday. According to Rackspace, it has debuted a new service which will migrate systems to the company's hybrid cloud hosting service, for free (most of the time). Rackspace said that--as long as it supports the operating system of those dedicated, virtualized, or cloud servers, and users have such things as root server access and other requirements, it will help assess and migrate those customers to its own service.
