#10 – Rackspace’s Very Own Lanham Napier Listed as One of Forbes Most Powerful CEOs 40 and Under[1]
While we all know he’s great Forbes made it official. Lanham was listed as one of the most powerful CEOs at the age of 39. Walking around the offices of Rackspace you wouldn’t think he knew it though. He’s a true mentor to all Racker’s of what great leadership is all about.
#9 – 2,000,000 Mailboxes and Counting!
I can remember when we crossed 1 Million Paid Mailboxes here at Rackspace. It was a big deal. Now we’re at over 2 Million Paid Mailboxes and still growing. Maybe we’ll stop at 20 Million? I doubt it.
#8 – Rackspace Webmail Gets a New Look
In May of 2010 we released a new Webmail for our Rackspace Email. While it took some people a little help to find their way around it has truly been embraced by almost all of our customers. Thanks for all your feedback that helped drive this change. We welcome your feedback for anything.[2]
#7 – Attended, Rocked and Had One Heck of a Party at SXSW
Rackspace attended Rocked SXSW at Maggie Mae’s with DJ’s, break-dancers, graffiti artists and more! Rackspace will have another this year as well, so if you’re there let us know[3] so we can invite you to the party.
#6 – Hybrid Email Recognized-Contacts and Calendars become One
In August we were able to really bridge a few of the tools in our Hybrid Email offering. With the Hybrid Contacts and Hybrid Calendar Sharing features we provided thousands of customers the cross-platform integration they really needed. Contact Rackspace[4] to take advantage of this with your company.
