Cloud-computing provider Rackspace Hosting is being taken private by private-equity firm Apollo Global Management for $4.3 billion.
Rackspace provides cloud services to customers, allowing them to use remote servers for data storage and computing power. The company has shifted its business model in recent years from primarily running its own cloud-based serves in its 11 data centers to also helping to manage services from larger technology companies, such as Amazon.com Inc. and MicrosoftCorp.
Rackspace said going private provides the company with more flexibility to take on shifts in customer demand. Chief Executive Taylor Rhodes said Apollo’s ownership will help inform the company’s strategy as it develops fresh IT products and seeks out new markets.
