RAX

Rackspace Hosting Inc

A cloud computing and IT services company that helps businesses design, build, secure, and run their cloud environments across platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Founded in 1998 in San Antonio, Texas, by three Trinity University classmates who started by hosting servers for web developers. The name comes from its original business of renting out space on a server rack — and the company still carries that name today even as it has grown into a major managed cloud provider.
