Summary: ViaWest is the latest to move into managed third party cloud – for Azure – and we just spoke to another US-based mixed colocation and managed hosting provider that is figuring out its strategy in this area as well. Separately, we spoke with another hoster about managing third party cloud and they also confirmed that uptake – at least so far given most of these services are relatively new – has come more from net new adds than existing customers. Not the first time we have heard that kind of feedback.
