What customers are saying about Cloud Databases
Cost-Efficient Scalability
“Buying more dedicated servers to scale our databases quickly gets expensive. Rackspace Cloud Databases solves that: we can have the same features and performance, without adding cost.”

Fast Performance
“A lot of our clients run online stores, which can really beat up a database and hurt the server’s performance. On Rackspace Cloud Databases, the performance is dramatically better. Even a store with hundreds of thousands of products runs great.”
