It's tidier than AWS and GAE, better performing and slightly more expensive. Tooling is good, support is excellent (I can get someone who knows arse from elbow on the phone in 2 minutes flat). Some of it is a little odd, but it makes sense eventually. API is a little clunky though.

We have some kit in it (Linux and windows which might sound odd), but it seems to be pretty reliable. Our AD forest root servers are in it and two OpenLDAP roots for clients as is our web site (which is 3rd party PHP).

It basically does everything. It's sort of GAE's app model and AWS's server + network model in one.

We did have a network/vlan issue but they sorted that on the phone in literally 10 minutes.
