SAN ANTONIO, May 30, 2023® (NASDAQ: RXT), a leading end-to-end multicloud technology solutions provider, today announced that it has been awarded a new Cloud Cooperative Services (DIR Contract DIR-CPO-5186) contract with the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) Cooperative Contracts Program.
The contract provides the State of Texas the ability to purchase Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Miscellaneous as a Service (MaaS), Cloud Broker, and Related Services through a streamlined procurement process and accelerates the delivery of services for Rackspace Technology.

Rackspace Technology provided DIR with operational, technical and security solutions across DIR's Data Center Services hybrid public clouds. Rackspace Technology also leveraged its strong relationships with DIR cloud service providers Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to expand DIR's cloud strategy.
