Rackspace has earned the No. 63 spot on the 12th annual Bloomberg Businessweek Tech 100 list of the top performing technology companies across the globe. It is the only company on the list that specializes in the fast-growing field of hosting and cloud computing, ranked No. 34 for revenue growth among the global technology companies, and No. 11 for revenue growth of US-based technology companies.

According to Bloomberg Businessweek, the companies listed on this year’s Tech 100 “managed to thrive during a bruising global recession.”  Rackspace recently surpassed 100,000 net customers to make it one of the top cloud hosting providers on the market.

“Rackspace is proud to have earned a position among the top 100 technology companies in the world, and our strong performance is proof that businesses understand the value of service,” said Lanham Napier, CEO of Rackspace. “Rackspace believes there is a revolution happening in the way businesses purchase and consume computing power, and we are uniquely positioned to guide them with our deep industry expertise and commitment to Fanatical Support.”
