• #4: The purpose of this slide is to illustrate both the scale and scope of Rackspace in terms of the customers we serve and services we provide. Rackspace Hosting From both a Racker perspective and customer base perspective, we have seen dramatic growth. Our clients include more than 60% of the Fortune® 100. Today we have more than 190,000 customers in 120 countries. From a scope perspective, we have 8 DC’s serving our WW customer base and a broad portfolio of Cloud offerings….which is very important as it allows customers to mix and match our infrastructure to best suite the needs of their application. It drives flexibility. One of the achievements that we are most proud of is that Rackspace Hosting has been recognized by Fortune as one of the 100 best places to work not only in the United States, but in EMEA as well. People really like working here. What that means to customers is that we have a growing, stable workforce that is carefully selected not only for technical skills but also for how much each employee enjoys delivering exceptional service, and how well they match our culture and core values. OUR CULTURE AND THE EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE THAT WE BRAND AS FANATICAL SUPPORT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GROWING AT, SAY, 5% A YEAR AND GROWING AT THE MUCH FASTER RATE THAT OUR COMPANY HAS EXPERIENCED IN THE LAST FEW YEARS Open Cloud - You’ll also note from looking at our logo in the upper left of the page….that we are branding our company as the “Open Cloud” company. As a founding member of the OpenStack community, we are committed to leveraging open technologies such as OpenStack to minimize technology lock-in and maximize flexibility. It means that we want to give our customers the choice to run their applications on infrastructure best suited to their particular application/workload. finally, Rackspace is the leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Managed Hosting….which really is a testament to our broad portfolio and the service we provide branded as Fanatical Support
