Welcome to the Marketing Cloud

Marketo

In the past, marketing automation and sales solutions have been too expensive and required extensive IT resources to install and maintain. Even other software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions have either been too costly and complex for all but a few marketers, or too limited in scope and capability.

Marketo changes the game by providing uncompromising marketing automation and sales effectiveness solutions that combine a fun, easy-to-adopt customer experience with no up-front investment or heavy IT support.

  • Easy to buy because our modern technology means customers can be up and running in days without requiring complex implementation or upfront fees
  • Easy to own because our software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions don’t require IT support or dedicated hardware, and new features are upgraded automatically
  • Easy to use without specialized technical skills or significant training because of our addictively easy-to-use interface

Additionally, Marketo is AppExchange certified and Marketo Sales Insight is a 100% native Force.com application, meaning you get great integration to salesforce.com at no additional cost.

SAS 70 Type II*
Rackspace has processes and safeguards in place designed to protect the assets and data entrusted to them. Therefore, Rackspace views a SAS 70 Type II examination as a necessity. A service auditor's examination performed in accordance with SAS No. 70 ("SAS 70 Audit") is widely recognized, because it represents that a service organization has been through an in-depth audit of their control objectives and control activities, which often include controls over information technology and related processes. A Type II report not only includes the service organization's description of controls, but also includes detailed testing of the design and operating effectiveness of the service organization's controls.

Marketo believes in keeping your data secure and available. Marketo has implemented redundant Cisco firewalls, IDS's, load balancers and switches to ensure you receive top level reliability, availability and security. Data access is through a highly redundant network utilizing nine diverse Tier 1 providers. Also, Rackspace is a certified facility for international standards of SAS70 Type II and Safe Harbor requirements. Finally, through the use of these highly secure and redundant systems, Marketo and Rackspace provide top level encryption and multiple layers of security to protect your data.
