Wow, congrats to them!

I've only used their services for a short while as they bought a company I was using, but they seem hard working.

They have a massive control panel they wrote completely in-house and there is a heavily documented API for 3rd party access which was an nice indication of a good attitude.

The owners maybe. The employees ... not so much.

Congrats! Met a bunch of the SoftLayer people at TechStars Cloud and they were a fun, incredibly smart bunch of people.
Scary too as IBM might destroy them...
As a SoftLayer customer of ~5 years, this has me pretty bummed. I'd hate to see SoftLayer's straightforward product offerings get subsumed by IBM's enterprise-driven culture.
