Cognizant Technology claims to bend over backwards for its customers, even when it doesn't have to. The proof is in the pudding as the company shows the results to back this claim up.

I imagine what Rackspace gets out of this is, that if successful, they will at least have some sort of leverage with Amazon. Amazon is a machine.
