The Rackspace Cloud is a set of cloud computing products and services billed on a utility computing basis from the US-based company Rackspace. Offerings include web application hosting or platform as a service ("''Cloud Sites''"), Cloud Storage ("''Cloud Files''"), virtual private server ("''Cloud Servers''"), load balancers, databases, backup, and monitoring. == History == Rackspace Cloud announced Mosso LLC in March, 2006, as a wholly owned subsidiary billed as a utility computing offering.〔(BusinessWeek: Mosso, LLC )〕 As it pre-dated mainstream adoption of the term cloud computing, it was "retooled" and relaunched on February 19, 2008, adopting the tagline "Mosso: The Hosting Cloud".〔(Mosso Evolves Into The Hosting Cloud )〕 The "Mosso" branding (including the mosso.com domain) was then dropped on June 17, 2009 in favour of "The Rackspace Cloud" branding (including the rackspacecloud.com domain name). Since then, customer contracts were executed with Rackspace US, Inc. d/b/a The Rackspace Cloud rather than with the Mosso LLC subsidiary.〔(Rackspace Cloud Terms of Service )〕 Other companies (such as EMC Corporation with its "Decho" subsidiary) also use alternative branding for their cloud computing offerings. In 2011, the "Rackspace Cloud" brand merged with Rackspace.com. In 2012, Rackspace rebranded as "Rackspace, the open cloud company". In 2014, Rackspace rebranded as "Rackspace, the #1 managed cloud company". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rackspace Cloud」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
