Rackspace Hosting RAX, the open cloud company, today announced that it
is lowering the price for cloud bandwidth and content delivery network (CDN)
services by 33 percent. The company also announced that it is implementing
tiered pricing for its open cloud product portfolio, starting with Cloud
Files, its object storage service. The new pricing changes will take place
over the next several weeks, beginning on February 22^nd with tiered pricing
for Cloud Files.
Rackspace's customers deploying bandwidth-intensive workloads serving large
amounts of content (which include video streaming, mobile and applications
that require fast content delivery to end users) will benefit from the lower
price of bandwidth, including CDN bandwidth. The price will change from $0.18
to $0.12 per GB.
In addition to the price reduction for bandwidth and CDN bandwidth, Rackspace
is introducing a tiered pricing structure. The first product to feature tiered
pricing is Cloud Files object storage. The volume discounts range from $0.10
per GB per month for the first 1TB, decreasing to $0.075 per GB per month and
even lower for storage amounts over 1024 TB. Rackspace will roll out tiered
pricing for additional products throughout 2013. For more details on the
bandwidth price reduction and the tiered pricing structure, please visit:
