This relationship is designed to add mutual value for IceWEB and Rackspace.

With IceCLOUD launch, IceWEB expands its cloud storage capability by providing a complete storage and DR solution for mid-enterprise organizations.

"As part of IceWEB’s growth strategy, expansion into cloud storage is a natural fit that’s highly complementary to our award-winning unified storage appliances and award-winning replication capabilities," said Steven Toole, IceWEB’s CMO. "IceCLOUD instantly addresses the mid-market’s rapidly growing demand for simplified cloud storage. By offering the complete solution for tier 1 and tier 2 local storage in the data center, combined with IceSTORM’s replication capability and now a cloud storage offering with IceCLOUD, IceWEB has positioned itself squarely at the intersection of three explosive markets: Unified storage, replication and cloud storage."
