Rackspace is one of the world's most prominent hosting services, going back long before the term "cloud" was applied to these offerings. In our recent interview, Vice President of Healthcare Tim Lankes says that healthcare is the largest industry segment covered by Rackspace, and that it is the largest private cloud hoster of Epic outside of Epic itself.

One of Rackspace's strengths, going back to its early days as a hosting service, is that it supports both public clouds (where clients lease temporary services on shared systems) and private clouds (where particular computers are devoted to a client). Lankes says that Rackspace helps healthcare systems decide how to cut costs and support their innovation by using the best combination of on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud systems.
