2009. Rackspace enters the enterprise collaboration market



Rackspace is known first of all as the top Amazon competitor on the Cloud Computing platforms market (Amazon Web Services vs Rackspace Cloud). But while Amazon continues developing its IaaS niche (Infrastructure for third-party web services), Rackspace decided to create its own Web services for the enterprise market. In May they launched Rackspace Email - hosted email server, and today they released Rackspace Cloud Drive - the enterprise file collaboration solution. Interesting that Rackspace also provides hosted Exchange and Sharepoint (that compete with its own services), but positions the own apps between the cheap but possible less robust Google Apps and the top-shelf Microsoft options. ***

2009. Rackspace updates its Email service

Rackspace has introduced an updated version of its Rackspace Email hosting service, aiming to position itself as a viable alternative to Microsoft Exchange. The new version incorporates familiar desktop features such as right-click functionality, multiple personal calendars, and the ability to delegate calendar access to other users. Alongside the release, Rackspace has significantly lowered the pricing, offering the service at just $1 per mailbox per month, or $12 per year. This affordable cost grants users enterprise-level service and a crucial support offering that sets Rackspace apart from other cloud providers, as demonstrated by the recent Gmail outage. Rackspace's robust support not only offers visibility of any issues but also assists users with implementation, highlighting the value of reliable service.
