Rackspace Buys More Cloud Developers’ Tools

Rackspace has acquired Exceptional Cloud Services in what it calls a strategic move to add to its toolset for developers deploying and managing applications in the open cloud.
The deal will bring it error tracking and Redis-as-a-Service solutions that are currently used by more than 50,000 apps developers.
Acquisition terms were not disclosed.
Rackspace said it’s getting “technology and expertise that will provide start-ups and cloud developers with the tools that help them deliver more reliable customer experiences and to bring the next generation of cloud-based apps to market faster.”
As part of the agreement, Rackspace gets Exceptional.io, which tracks errors in over 6,000 web applications in real-time so they can be fixed faster.
