A rite of passage for product marketers at Rackspace is to shadow field teams, and new Product Marketing Lead Prabhakar Gopalan this week got an inside look at Rackspace’s Managed Cloud[1] from a customer’s perspective from our Cloud Advisors and specialists.

SaaS In The Cloud
The cloud can really boost your SaaS environment, and to help you navigate SaaS in the cloud, we’ve launched a new blog series. The SaaS in the Cloud[2] series will offer you practical information and video tutorials on how cloud-based services can enhance your SaaS environment.

We know that the public internet can be a scary place for servers. Log files of servers attached to public addresses show regular port scans and URL snooping and are a constant reminder that your hosts are one misconfiguration away from catastrophe. To help you avoid disaster and thwart potential threats, we’ve created a handy guide to walk you through the creation of bastion hosts and isolated cloud networks[3].

For the second year in a row, the Austin American-Statesman has named Rackspace’s Austin office one of its Top Workspaces[4]. This year, Rackspace has moved up six spots to No. 25 in the midsize category.
