Rackspace Technology provides Brooks Macdonald with streamlined and secure private cloud architecture
17 May 2021 - 11:00PM
Rackspace Technology® (NASDAQ: RXT), a leading end-to-end
multicloud technology solutions company, has enabled Brooks
Macdonald, a UK and international investment management services
provider, to adopt a secure managed private cloud architecture.
After a decade of significant growth, Brooks Macdonald mandated
Rackspace Technology to manage and optimise its IT architecture.
The company now uses Rackspace Managed Cloud, a private cloud
offering from Rackspace Technology.
The migration project has streamlined operations by reducing
Brooks Macdonald’s number of technology partners and providers, and
further streamlined the firm’s IT services by taking charge of its
Microsoft Office 365 licensing. Brooks Macdonald has also engaged
Rackspace Managed Security Services to enhance its security and
compliance.
For 24x7x365 protection against advanced persistent threats,
Brooks Macdonald now leverages Rackspace Technology’s Proactive
Detection and Response services. The new security solution, paired
with its private cloud architecture, offers a single pane view,
supporting a more holistic approach for monitoring activity and
assessing threats.
Caroline Abbondanza, Group CTO at Brooks Macdonald, said:
“Having a partner like Rackspace Technology gives us the assurance
that we have visibility of any online threats that might come our
way. In Rackspace Technology, we’ve found a trusted partner to
support us on our technology journey.”
Tim Lovejoy, VP Government and Private Cloud,
EMEA at Rackspace Technology said: “Brooks Macdonald’s existing
infrastructure had grown rapidly and as a result needed
streamlining. It was important for us to design a solution that
supports future scalability and elasticity, while maintaining high
levels of security and compliance, and we are excited to work
together on the next stages of Brooks Macdonald’s cloud
journey.”
In the future, Brooks Macdonald plans to explore
further services with Rackspace Technology, including the potential
addition of public cloud to enable the company to operate in a
multicloud environment.
