Rackspace Technology Defines a New Category in Cloud Services with Launch of Rackspace Elastic Engineering
April 14 2021 - 12:46PM
Rackspace Technology® (NASDAQ: RXT), a leading end-to-end
multicloud technology solutions company, announced the launch of
their new service model designed to help customers build and
operate modern cloud environments, Rackspace Elastic Engineering.
While traditional cloud managed services are fixed scope and
focused on infrastructure operations, Rackspace Elastic Engineering
helps customers embrace a cloud native approach while delivering
ongoing innovation, modernization, and transformation, in addition
to world-class 24x7x365 operations. Releasing today to support all
three major public cloud providers, Amazon Web Services (AWS),
Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Rackspace Elastic
Engineering marks the beginning of a significant shift in Rackspace
Technology’s approach to managed cloud support.
“Customers gain the most from cloud technologies when workloads,
teams, and processes are transformed to a more cloud native and
agile operating model. Traditional managed services struggle to
deliver in these environments due to inflexible scope and contract
structures,” said Tolga Tarhan, Chief Technology Officer, Rackspace
Technology. “Rackspace Elastic Engineering combines our unmatched
operational expertise with flexible, modern, cloud native
engineering services.”
At the core of the Rackspace Elastic Engineering model are
“Pods” - groups of nine architects and engineers focused on cloud
engineering. Customers always work with the same Pod familiar with
their team and environment and consume Rackspace Elastic
Engineering services by subscribing to fractional capacity from
their Pod through flexible monthly tiers. This unique delivery
model provides high customer affinity and allows the Pod to serve
as an extension of the customer’s team while delivering
transformative, best-practices-led, engineering, and operations
services.
As more customers embrace a cloud native approach, their teams
are increasingly transforming toward DevOps-focused operating
models. With DevOps approaches, the boundaries between
infrastructure and applications, and “build” and “operate” have
become increasingly blurry. At the same time, large monolithic
outsourcing contracts are unable to provide flexibility for modern
cloud adoption, leading to stagnation and inefficient use of cloud
technologies. In response to these trends, organizations are
demanding more customized engineering and operations capabilities
from their partners. Recognizing these shifts, Rackspace Elastic
Engineering delivers a new model for an ongoing partnership with
customers that’s built on the foundation of agile and DevOps
disciplines, and backed by decades of Rackspace Technology
operational expertise and Fanatical ExperienceTM.
Rackspace Technology will be hosting an online event, "Leveling
Up IT Operations for the Cloud Evolution” on April 16th at 10:00 am
CDT to coincide with the launch of Rackspace Elastic Engineering.
