A. Today’s Technology, Channel Chief and MSP Partner Program News

Molu arrived a few weeks after Rackspace named Amar Maletira as CEO. The company expects to reorganize its finances into two business units by January 2023. The reorganization could make it easier for Rackspace to sell off company assets in pieces, ChannelE2E believes.
