sMicrosoft's Razorfish has chosen Rackspace to host the development of new Web sites and applications rather than wait for its parent company to release its own cloud-hosting platform Windows Azure.
Rackspace, formed in 1998, was a private company until it began trading on the New York Stock Exchange last August. The company offers a range of managed-hosting and cloud-hosting services.
Cloud computing and hosted services are becoming an increasingly attractive options for companies that don't want the hassle or expense of building out their own IT infrastructure, particularly now as the global economy is in a recession.
