Acquia will provide Enterprise-class Drupal support, remote administration and global training for Rackspace, and Rackspace will serve as a partner to Acquia for Enterprise hosting services.

“The traction that Drupal has made in the enterprise market has been tremendous and joining forces with Acquia to extend our offering to the Drupal customers we already support was a natural fit,” said John Engates, Rackspace CTO. “This partnership presents a great opportunity to further drive Drupal’s reach within large organizations and we’re excited to be working with Acquia to make that happen.”

Acquia will be offering a few new options that incorporate Rackspace’s cloud hosting and managed hosting services in addition to its current cloud offerings with Acquia hosting.  This will make them an even bigger powerhouse in the cloud hosting world.

“Rackspace has a goal to provide Fanatical Support to its customers and Acquia shares that customer service focus,” said Tim Bertrand, Vice President of Business Development for Acquia. “Our relationship with Rackspace extends our enterprise hosting capabilities and offerings to an even larger base of enterprises.”
