Hello!
This is Kelly Gustainis, the Research Coordinator for the Rackspace Experience Design team. Nice to virtually meet you! The Rackspace research team is currently running a research study on the concept of offering HA Proxy and/or NGINX as a service for load balancing. To further this study, we are hoping to speak with non-Rackspace customers who have insight into these tools. If you are very familiar with these tools we would love to set up a short interview, specifically to get your feedback on what services around the HA Proxy technology you find to be most beneficial. Interview sessions will be remote, lasting no more than half an hour, and participants will be compensated with a $50 Visa gift card. These interviews will happen throughout the month of October. If you are interested in participating, please click this link: https://rackspace.az1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_5gOFz3Re6kYqOvb and take a brief survey (this will ensure your eligibility). Once we have your completed survey, we will contact you directly with scheduling and study details. This is an invitation to participate in a non-marketing research study. We have validated with Willy that there wasn't anything inappropriate in posting this e-mail here. We are, in no way, attempting to sell you anything at all so please, be as candid as you wish and feel free to forward to any colleagues who may be interested. Thank you for your time, we hope to hear from you! Best, Kelly Gustainis Research Coordinator Rackspace Experience Design Desk: 210.312.4176 Cell: 512.876.4554 Email: [email protected] [Rackspacelogo]
