Rackspace Managed Hosting, the leading managed hosting provider, today announced that it is offering Dell/EMC Advanced Storage Solutions for hosting customers. By utilizing Dell/EMC storage, Rackspace now provides customers with flexible storage allocation on demand and reliable back up recovery - from a centralized storage network.

"Rackspace has been providing dedicated storage and back-up solutions for years, however the Dell/EMC offering allows us to build out and mature this offering with equipment and service from Dell - a company we trust," said Adam Bays, director of product development, Rackspace Managed Hosting. "The new Advanced Storage Solutions links all storage and back up devices on a centralized network that is monitored in a single location. This new offering provides customers with efficient means of storing, accessing and recovering their critical data."

Rackspace's Advanced Storage Solutions are completely scalable, from small one-server configurations to very large complex enterprise configurations with hundreds of servers and multiple terabytes of data. By removing storage back-up devices from each individual configuration and centralizing storage on a single storage area network, customers can increase or decrease the amount of storage they need almost instantly. Additionally, the Rackspace storage solution offers fully redundant, high availability primary storage to safeguard the customer's data.

WhippleHill Communications, a Web development company for independent schools across the country, relies on Rackspace to host its Web site and maintain its data through the company's Advanced Storage Solutions.

"Rackspace's Advanced Storage Solutions enable us to easily retrieve data on demand and takes out the hassle of doing it ourselves," said Travis Warren, president, WhippleHill Communications. "The company's storage solutions fit right in with their commitment to Fanatical Support™. They anticipate what we need even before we know we need it."
