SendGrid, an email infrastructure service provider, has entered into strategic partnership with Rackspace Hosting, a provider of hosting and cloud computing services.
The collaboration will bring SendGrid’s email delivery, real-time analytics capabilities and scalability to Rackspace customers.
In addition, the partnership will provide Rackspace customers with: bronze plan (40,000 free email credits/month); silver plan (100,000 email credits/month); gold plan (300,000 email credits/month); and platinum plan (700,000 email credits/month).
Rackspace corporate development director Nishan Sivathasan said customers need a better way to send large amounts of email from their web applications and servers for their transactional email needs.
"After a long search we found SendGrid to be the leading provider in the marketplace, as they beat out the competition across all of our search criteria. We then worked with SendGrid to create a special offer for Rackspace customers," Sivathasan said.
"Rackspace and SendGrid share the drive for an exceptional customer experience," said SendGrid CEO Jim Franklin
"We’re excited to bring our infrastructure and deliverability expertise to Rackspace’s customer base."
