Microshare forms global alliance with Rackspace

The agreement vastly expands Microshare’s ability to deploy its IoT-based commercial real estate and infrastructure solutions at scale IoT specialists Kerlink and Semtech, and global distribution partner Arrow Electronics.

Under the terms of the agreement, Rackspace Technology’s global salesforce will resell Microshare solutions into its worldwide sales channels and afford Microshare added ability to manage inventory, installations and post-deployment services.

Kevin Jones, CEO at Rackspace Technology, said: “This partnership allows us to further extend our capabilities that utilize the power of IoT. Microshare’s focus on security and intelligence for better business continuity and improved performance is paramount in today’s landscape.  Their solutions give customers the peace of mind they need.” 

Martin Blackburn, EMEA Managing Director at Rackspace Technology, added: “Businesses across Europe, the Middle East and Africa are adopting new ways of working and assessing the safety of their staff and customers in the face of Covid-19. This partnership ensures our customers are equipped with the technology needed to monitor the safety of people in their commercial buildings – whether it’s a hospital, shop or bank.”

“We look at our new relationship with Rackspace Technology not only as a guarantee that Microshare solutions will be available at scale where ever they are in demand, but also as a validation of our decision to prioritize a disruptive, quick-to-deploy solution set that can be easily tailored for the needs of commercial office portfolios, corporate campuses, hospitals and healthcare facilities and large factories, rail stations and airports, all of which have already adopted Microshare solutions,” said Microshare CEO and Co-Founder Ron Rock.
