Companies such as salesforce and web-hosting outfit rackspace holding ( rax ) may be essential to this sea-change , but their valuations are scarily high .

salesforce和网络托管机构rackspaceholding这些企业对这场惊天巨变也许发挥了不可或缺的作用，但是它们的市值高得吓人。

As you can see from the chart , rax delivered for its shareholders quarter after quarter , eventually rising approximately 10x from its lows a mere 32 months later .

I remember when rackspace ( rax ) went public in august of 2008 ( disclaimer : I have owned shares of rackspace in my personal account for several years ) .

我还记得2008年8月云平台公司Rackspace公司上市的情景（免责声明：我的个人账户已持有Rackspace公司的股票好几年了）。

Rax has traded down a bit in the past few months , but still sports a $ 4 billion market cap and is a recognized leader in the hosting and cloud computing industries .

过去几个月里，Rackspace的股价略有下挫，但其市值仍然高达40亿美元，并且在托管业务和云计算行业，这家公司仍然是市场公认的业界领导者。

That 's right – shareholders who bought rax at the lows made an unbelievable return , and even those who bought at the ipo price of $ 12.50 made 3x + on their money ( if they held ) .

千真万确——在低位购买Rackspace股票的投资者获得了难以置信的回报，甚至在该股IPO时以12.5美元购入股票的投资者也获得了3倍以上的回报（当然，前提是他们一直持有该股票）。
