Scaleway: Bare metal SSD ARM servers

"Scaleway is the first IaaS provider worldwide to offer an ARM based cloud"

Bold clame I see. We begun offering the exact same configuration early last year ( http://www.unixy.net/arm-server/ )

After looking at your page I tend to side with Scaleway here. I see "Buy for $19.99" on that page. That does not feel very cloudy. I associate "cloud" with paying by the minute. Also that page seems not to be linked from your homepage. And the offer is not even available. "Not available" does not feel very cloudy either.

Not sure it qualifies, but http://raspberrycolocation.com/ has been around since 2013.

But, you know, salestext is useless :)

"Average delivery time" 90 days? I'm not even sure what that means, but it doesn't strike me as particularly useful...

That's Raspberry Pi Colo, which is indeed different. I agree that salestext is mostly grandiose blurb but I oddly expected better from a tech startup. I suspect the wording came out straight of the horse's mouth ;)

"Oops, there's a problem... Out of Stock" - your company doesn't compete on the cloud part, so their claim still stands.
