Rackspace Technology launches Rackspace Managed Cloud

Rackspace Technology has launched its Rackspace Managed Cloud (RMC), a comprehensive service designed to empower customers by fully outsourcing the management and operations of their cloud environments. This new offering caters to organizations operating across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Rackspace Private Cloud, and on-premises infrastructure.

As the cloud landscape evolves, Enterprises face increasing operational complexities in managing multi and hybrid cloud environments efficiently. In addition, Enterprises are maturing hybrid and multicloud strategies, and with that comes new challenges with increasing operational complexities – from varied architecture patterns across cloud platforms, platform interoperability and management of cloud-specific tools, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), open and closed standards, security, and ongoing service management. Due to this evolution, a cloud partner must consider methods and processes to streamline IT Service Management (ITSM), Develop Operations (DevOps), strengthen agile methodologies, and cost and vendor management across platforms.

“RMC unites the strengths of reliable, ongoing cloud operations with transformative engineering, resulting in enhanced performance, reliable security, and an improved end-customer experience, empowering businesses to respond to dynamic requirements,” said Mike Lindbert, Senior Director, Public Cloud Product, Rackspace Technology. “At the same time, it maintains governance around operating and cloud infrastructure costs creating cloud services for the cloud economy.”

RMC represents a significant expansion of the existing Rackspace Technology portfolio, providing a holistic approach to cloud management that aligns with Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) standards while embracing modern operational practices such as Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and DevOps.
