Rackspace Technology Helps Organizations Maximize VMware Investments with Rackspace Elastic Engineering for VMware
18 November 2021 - 3:05AM
Rackspace Technology® (NASDAQ: RXT), a leading end-to-end
multicloud technology solutions company, today announced the launch
of Rackspace Elastic Engineering for VMware. The offering delivers
an industry differentiating engineering and support model that
provides premium value to assist companies in their larger
strategic goals of cloud transformation by getting the most out of
orchestration, automation, and general tooling for VMware
multi-cloud computing infrastructure.
As companies drive to achieve core objectives, including
automating tasks, better securing workloads, accelerating
application delivery, controlling costs, and adopting new
technologies such as Kubernetes using VMware, they are confronting
common challenges. These include lack of expertise, limited
bandwidth, rigid partner support costs, tech debt, and heavily
siloed IT teams. Rackspace Elastic Engineering for VMware addresses
these common obstacles by providing access to unmatched VMware and
multicloud expertise delivered through agile methods with high
affinity to customers and their teams.
“The IT skills gap challenge facing organizations is only
increasing as the ‘Great Resignation’ trend makes it even more
difficult to find the necessary expertise,” said Bryan Litchford,
Rackspace Technology Vice President, Private Cloud. “Elastic
Engineering for VMware gives organizations the peace of mind that
they will always have access to a team of qualified VMware and
multicloud experts who are dedicated to understanding their
business needs and delivering outcome-focused results.”
Through Rackspace Elastic Engineering for VMware, companies can
leverage a DevOps approach to address key challenges. This new
service offering for VMware multicloud computing infrastructure
allows organizations to access services through a highly flexible
consumption model, empowering organizations to transform as fast or
slow as their business demands. Companies gain access to a
dedicated team of VMware experts that can optimize workload
migrations, accelerate innovation, or augment IT teams with
specialized skills or ongoing management and support services.
“What’s unique about this service is that it’s designed to
support both a traditional and modern IT operations strategy,”
added Litchford. “Not all customers are evolving at the same pace
or need to transform everything today. Sometimes they require extra
expertise to complete the project or want to off-load the
management and architecture of a VMware environment. Rackspace
Elastic Engineering for VMware allows them to get the level of
expertise they require, and only pay for what they use.”
Rackspace Elastic Engineering for VMware provides expertise on a
broad range of VMware technologies, including building, migrating,
optimizing, and managing VMware multicloud computing infrastructure
on premises, across hyperscalers and in third party data centers.
