    San Antonio, Texas – July 17, 2009 – Rackspace® Hosting (NYSE: RAX), the world’s leader in hosting, announced that IDG’s Computerworld, the “Voice of IT Management,” has selected it as one of the top workplaces for information technology (IT) professionals.  This honor is part of the weekly IT publication’s 16th annual Best Places to Work in IT survey, which was published in the June 15 issue of Computerworld and online at Computerworld.com.

    Since 1994, Computerworld’s annual “Best Places to Work in IT” feature has ranked the top 100 work environments for technology professionals, based on a comprehensive questionnaire regarding company offerings in categories such as benefits, diversity, career development, training and retention.  This year Computerworld surveyed more than 27,000 IT workers for the list, and their responses factored heavily in determining the rankings.

    “Fanatical Support has been a cornerstone of Rackspace since the beginning, both internally and externally.  Growth opportunities and an extensive open door policy are just a few of the diverse ways that Rackspace ensures its employees have a rewarding workplace,” said Rackspace President and CEO Lanham Napier. “Racker pride and satisfaction has a direct impact on excellent customer service.”

    Rackspace’s dedication to being one of the best places to work — in IT and across the company — has been a focus since the company’s founding that has only grown over the years.  Through Quarterly Open Book and Town Hall meetings to an extensive open door policy where even top executives work from cubicles, Rackspace provides an open and communicative environment that empowers employees, who are known as Rackers. Rackspace conducts regular "engagement" employee surveys to gauge satisfaction levels and gather Racker opinions on subjects such as whether or not they have the ability to do what they are best at every day.

    "To be among the Best Places to Work in IT, it’s not enough just to seek out and hire the most talented IT people, offer them competitive pay and provide great benefits," said Scot Finnie, editor in chief of Computerworld.  "The organizations that made this year’s Best Places to Work list sustain a dynamic work environment in which IT professionals keep their hands on the latest technologies and work on projects that are business critical. In the months and years ahead, IT is going to become a key accelerator of business growth."
