Rackspace which is a large provider of rented servers and hosting has acquired Jungle Disk. Jungle Disk is a software program that we have referenced in the past for performing low-cost data backups online to Amazon’s data storage solution.
Jungle Dave indicates that his reasons for entering the agreement was to continue to innovate and grow in a more challenging economy. The acquisition allows Rackspace to grow usage of their cloud computing initiative.
Dave is going to stay with the Jungle Disk product as it moves into the Rackspace domain. I hope that the product remains to be innovative and affordable.
