Solving the Toughest Challenges: Rackspace Is A Leader in Public Cloud Infrastructure Managed Service Providers

If you’re struggling to scale and secure your apps and data in the cloud, you’re not alone. A recent survey of 1,000 companies using the cloud showed that a “lack of expertise and resources” was a major hurdle. So, how can you quickly gain those resources and expertise? And how do you do it while keeping up with the demands of evolving your business?

Thousands of organizations, including global enterprises and more than half of the Fortune 100, have found the answer in Rackspace. Rackspace is modernizing IT in today’s multi-cloud world. By delivering IT as a service, it helps customers of all industries, sizes, and locations, across private and public sectors, realize the power of digital transformation without the complexity and expense of managing it on their own.

Its comprehensive portfolio of managed services across applications, data, security, and infrastructure on the world’s leading public and private cloud platforms enables us to provide unbiased expertise. Rackspace has been honored by Fortune, Forbes, Glassdoor, and others as one of the best places to work.

The #1 Managed Cloud Provider

With over 15 years of experience developing capabilities on the world’s leading technologies, Rackspace has the expertise necessary to provide a secure, multi-cloud solution to meet your most critical business needs.

• Multi-Cloud: Rackspace is uniquely qualified to help identify, design and manage the right cloud solution to meet your needs today and into the future. It ranked the #1 managed cloud company by Gartner, supporting all leading Public Clouds.
• Security: Rackspace managed security services to help you leverage the public cloud while meeting even the most stringent security and compliance requirements, with 24x7x365 monitoring, pro-active threat detection, and remediation and compliance assistance

Private Cloud

Get the agility, scalability, and efficiency of the public cloud, with the greater levels of control and security of a single-tenant, dedicated environment. It can be hosted on-site at your own data center or at a service provider’s data center.

• Agility: Deliver features faster by providing your users with on-demand, self-service access to infrastructure.
• Security: Get the enhanced security of a dedicated, physically isolated network, compute and storage layers.
• Customization: Customize the dedicated compute, storage and networking components to best suit your needs.
• Performance: Gain performance advantages over the public cloud, with dedicated resources for your business.

Hybrid Cloud

Sometimes the best environment for a workload is one that combines both public cloud, private cloud, and single-tenant dedicated environments. That's why Rackspace has created a true hybrid cloud, with multi-cloud flexibility, so you can connect dedicated bare metal environments to the private and public clouds of your choice — such as AWS, Microsoft^®, OpenStack^®, and VMware^®

• Scalability: The public cloud’s pay-as-you-go scalability is ideal for heavy or unpredictable traffic — and can reduce IT costs.
• Security: When you need enhanced security and ultimate control for business-critical apps and data, incorporate a private cloud.
• Performance: With single-tenant dedicated servers, you get ultra-fast performance, security, and reliability, on bare metal machines.

Multi-Cloud

Adopting a multi-cloud strategy is often the first step toward a comprehensive digital transformation. A managed cloud service provider can help you through every stage of this journey — from planning, migrating, optimizing and securing — so you can experience the business-changing results of a transformed IT organization.

• Planning: Start by evaluating your infrastructure needs, assessing vulnerabilities and planning for disaster recovery and business continuity.
• Migrating: Identify the data and apps that make sense to migrate to the cloud, and then plan and execute your migration.
• Optimizing: Optimize your configuration, so you get the performance, agility, and efficiency you need, on the right combination of platforms.
• Securing: Protect your apps and data from breaches, detect and remediate threats and prevent and mitigate DDoS attacks.
