- Thursday, May 2, 12:54 PM Rackspace (RAX +3.1%) catches a bid on fresh speculation IBM is considering a bid for the company - a former IBM exec told GigaOm last month the IT giant has eyed both Rackspace and rival SoftLayer as M&A targets. Rackspace's Q1 report arrives on May 8; 12.3% of the float was shorted as of April 15. (also) Comment! [Tech, On the Move, M&A]
- Friday, March 15, 6:37 PM IBM has recently eyed both Rackspace (RAX) and SoftLayer as buyout targets, a former IBM exec tells GigaOm. Meanwhile, EMC is said to be uninterested in SoftLayer - Reuters reported yesterday both EMC and IBM have been in talks to buy the company. Rackspace (unlike SoftLayer) is a major backer of the OpenStack cloud infrastructure platform, which IBM just threw its weight behind. The former exec notes IBM's historical preference to flesh out its product lines via M&A. "IBM does not want to fund its own development because past history shows we’re not very good at it." Comment! [Tech, M&A]
- Thursday, March 14, 5:42 PM IBM and EMC are among the companies in the running to buy Web hosting/cloud infrastructure provider SoftLayer Technologies in a deal that could sport a $2B+ price tag, Reuters reports. SoftLayer, locked in fierce competition with Rackspace (RAX) and Amazon, differentiates itself in part by offering hybrid solutions that feature both dedicated and virtual servers. The report comes as IBM targets $7B in 2015 cloud revenue, and EMC subsidiary VMware (VMW) launches a new cloud infrastructure service. Comment! [Tech, M&A]
- Wednesday, February 27, 11:08 AM Rackspace (RAX -0.2%) expands its cloud database offerings by acquiring ObjectRocket, a provider of hosted unstructured databases relying on the increasingly popular NoSQL structure. Rackspace already supports a variety of structured database platforms; NoSQL, often used in big data projects, can provide better scalability and support for unconventional data formats, at the expense of consistency. Terms aren't disclosed. Comment! [Tech, M&A]
- Tuesday, August 28, 2012, 11:16 AM Rackspace (RAX) is acquiring Mailgun, a startup that has created developer tools for accessing/managing e-mail from within an app or service without having to go through a complex/tedious setup process. Rackspace plans to integrate Mailgun's solutions with its newly-launched OpenStack cloud infrastructure platform. Comment! [Tech, M&A]
- Wednesday, June 20, 2012, 2:05 PM Rackspace (RAX -1.7%) is turning into a compelling M&A target, a Bloomberg column suggests, albeit without reporting on any specific interest. The article notes the increasingly competitive market for cloud infrastructure services, in which Rackspace is #2 behind Amazon (AMZN), is expected by Gartner to grow to $10.5B in 2014 from $3.7B in 2010. However, with a current market cap of $6B, Rackspace wouldn't come cheap, and the company claims it's not for sale. Comment! [Tech, M&A, Quick Ideas]
- Tuesday, March 13, 2012, 11:53 AM Rackspace (RAX +2.6%) is outperforming, and takeover speculation could be a reason why. Rackspace, which currently trades at $54.38, is seeing heavy buying of April calls at strike prices of 60 and 65. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, M&A]
- Thursday, February 16, 2012, 4:49 PM Rackspace (RAX) has acquired SharePoint911, a consulting firm focused on Microsoft SharePoint implementations. As a result of the deal, Rackspace, which has sought to differentiate itself from rival web hosting firms by specializing in cloud infrastructure services, says it will begin offering cloud-based SharePoint hosting. Comment! [Tech, M&A]
- Thursday, February 16, 2012, 7:59 AM Rackspace Hosting (RAX) picks up privately-held Sharepoint911 - a provider of SharePoint consulting, training, and JumpStart services within the SharePoint platform - for an undisclosed amount. Comment! [M&A, Tech]
