Razorfish Selects Rackspace Hosting for Cloud Services

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rackspace® Hosting (NYSE:RAX), the world’s leader in hosting, today announced that Razorfish™, one of the largest digital marketing companies in the world, has selected Rackspace’s cloud hosting platform.

Razorfish is working with Rackspace’s cloud hosting division, Mosso®, to build consumer-facing websites and web applications that can handle large traffic spikes during major promotions and product launches of brands. In particular, Razorfish develops microsites, community platforms, blogs, and web video for its clients using Rackspace’s Cloud Sites™ and Cloud Files™ hosting services.

Cloud hosting and cloud storage services allow businesses to easily and cost-effectively manage websites. Rackspace’s cloud services are Internet-based, which means Razorfish clients do not have to invest in more computer infrastructure even as their digital presence grows.

“We are lucky to have clients who believe in the power of digital marketing,” said Tobias Klauder, director of IT software engineering at Razorfish. “Marketers who want to build their brands online want and need to focus on their customers’ digital brand experience. While our clients turn to us for creative and other consumer-facing services, they also turn to us for services on the back end — services that ensure their sites function at an optimal level even during major spikes in traffic. That’s why we rely on Rackspace.”

Emil Sayegh, general manager of Rackspace’s cloud hosting division, said his team is thrilled to welcome Razorfish and its clients as users of Rackspace cloud services. “Razorfish is well known for its innovation in digital marketing — they help to build marquis brands in our digital age,” Sayegh said. “We’re excited to see them take full advantage of our services to meet the growing needs of their clients. Our Internet-based, cloud hosting solutions add value to large and small companies alike that are serious about their web presence.”
