📅 - Managed hosting provider Rackspace Managed Hosting (rackspace.com👉 Total Reviews: 16 🙌 Average Rating: 3.3 / 10 👍 Good Reviews: 4 👎 Bad Reviews: 12 👈 Official Responses: 0) announced on Monday it has signed an agreement with music magazine, SPIN (spinmagazine.com). Rackspace will host the magazine's Web site, which attracts more than 250,000 unique visitors per month with exclusive content that includes news, album reviews, photo exclusives, audio and video clips and free downloads.
SPIN's open source platform-developed Web site is a key revenue generator for the publication and requires a high-availability environment, says Rackspace. Spin's infrastructure was originally managed by the magazine's IT team in a colocation facility, but soon consumed too much of the team's time maintaining infrastructure uptime and scalability rather than ideally focusing on their core IT functions of Web design and development
After weighing out the possible options, SPIN decided to outsource its hosting needs to Rackspace Intensive Hosting for Enterprise Linux because of its specialty in enterprise Linux, ability to deploy the solution quickly and guarantee uptime.
"This year, we switched to an energetic, blog-style format with engaging content that is updated several times daily. Now our IT staff has realigned efforts to develop and maintain this online presence while the Rackspace team ensures the infrastructure," says Joshua Glaser, IT manager for SPIN. "Rackspace's Linux expertise gives us the specialized fanatical support that we need to optimize and maintain our open source platform."
