Web host and cloud computing services provider Rackspace Hosting (www.rackspace.com) has reached a major milestone, surpassing two million paid users of its hosted email offerings, including its proprietary Rackspace Email, hosted Microsoft Exchange and a hybrid offering of the two services.
According to Rackspace’s announcement this week, this growth is the product of many things including the company’s reputation for helping businesses take advantage of a full portfolio of cloud offerings. The company also said that its email products can help customers save money, while still being able to use familiar features such as the use of Microsoft Outlook, email archiving and smartphone access.
Rackspace also cited its Rackspace Hybrid Email offering as a major factor in adoption. Since the major Rackspace Email 7.0 release in May 2009, Rackspace enhanced Rackspace Hybrid Email in June, offering users an enhanced mix of Hosted Microsoft Exchange features and the business-focused Rackspace Email platform all on a single domain.
