Case Study: Rackspace Technology achieves global, connected collaboration with Lifesize video conferencing

Rackspace Chooses LifeSize to Collaborate Across International Offices, Enable Connected Relationships Irrespective of Distance

Rackspace, a global leader in hybrid cloud computing with more than 5,000 employees and nine data centers worldwide, needed a lifelike way for dispersed teams and telecommuting executives to collaborate and maintain the company’s strong, relationship-driven culture. Email and audio conferences weren’t enough to support face-to-face interaction across international offices and to sustain the rapid coordination required for major initiatives.

Rackspace deployed the full LifeSize HD video portfolio—including Bridge 2200, Control, ClearSea, LifeSize Team 220 endpoints (100+), and Passport for telecommuters—to enable consistent, high-quality video meetings. The solution became part of daily workflow, helped coordinate hundreds of engineers during the Open Cloud launch, reduced travel time for executives, and strengthened cross-office relationships and productivity.
