Expansion Into The Asia Pacific Region
The company is experiencing heavy customer growth, especially in the Asian marketplace. The Asian office is a natural step in Rackspace.com's expansion outside the U.S. and London to cater for worldwide customers’ needs in Hong Kong / China. Rackspace selected Hong Kong as the Asia Pacific regional office in part because of its reputation within the global business economy, its world-class IT infrastructure, multiple telecommunication providers and rich talent pool. Rackspace also solicited feedback from its current customer base in the Asia Pacific region, and the majority of those respondents confirmed their preference for doing business in Hong Kong.
