From on-premise data center and private clouds to hyperscale clouds, cloud-based SaaS applications and co-location environments, Rackspace Technology helps simplify experiences and reduce inefficiencies across platforms, applications, data and security.
The appointment kickstarts with the launch of VMware Solutions on Private Cloud. With the combined forces of Rackspace Technology, VST ECSand Dell Technologies customers can run VMware workloads while removing the cost and operational burden of managing data centre infrastructure and VMware Cloud Operations.
