cloudsigma stand out only by their rampant self promotion.

They're just using some off-the-shelf iaas software. there are a few platforms using it and they all have the same features.

Welcome to Hacker News, I see this is your first ever contribution.

In terms of what you say, we actually have many unique features and could no way be described as 'off-the-shelf'. We are continuing to innovate and will be launching future first-to-market features in the coming months.

Kindly explain Why do you say this platform has the same features with off the shelf features? Do other systems have the same ease of use? Do they do billing every 5 minutes (versus AWS 1 hour and Joyent 1 day?). Is the billing predictable, so one can have a budget? Etc.
