Rackspace, the widely-used Web hosting provider, has announced two major acquisitions that will add value to its cloud computing offerings. In a tandem move, the hosting company has purchased JungleDisk and Slicehost.

JungleDisk is a popular client that gives Windows, Mac and Linux users easy access to Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) by providing the cloud storage offering as a drive letter on their computer. Additionally, by acquiring SliceHost, Rackspace picks up a hosting competitor and will integrate Slicehost’s storage capabilities with JungleDisk as an additional storage facility within the JungleDisk client.
