Rackspace Technology and Pure Storage Drive Multicloud Strategies for Customers
August 21 2020 - 11:05AM
Rackspace Technology ™ (NASDAQ: RXT) today announced key
developments resulting from its partnership with Pure Storage™
(NYSE: PSTG), initially launched in February 2019. The
collaboration solidified Rackspace as the largest global Managed
Service Provider member of the Pure Partner Program.
Pure Storage is an IT pioneer that delivers customers an
ultra-high performance, multicloud storage platform, allowing for a
seamless data plane across on premises and cloud environments. The
enterprise IT company delivers a modern data experience that
empowers organizations to run their operations in an automated,
storage-as-a-service model seamlessly across multiple clouds.
The Pure Storage Evergreen™ model allows customers to add
capacity and increase performance on demand non-disruptively as
their data management needs evolve allowing for application
modernization. The partnership provides customers with fast access
to their storage, hybrid-cloud connectivity and low latency for
workloads where performance cannot be compromised. This helps
customers get to the cloud and maximize their IT investment by
allowing them to seamlessly migrate mission critical workloads such
as eCommerce, databases, disaster recovery, artificial
intelligence, machine learning and Internet of Things (IoT) to
Rackspace’s infrastructure, while maintaining high performance and
availability.
Together, Rackspace Technology and Pure Storage partnered to
bring multicloud solutions to many enterprise, commercial, and
healthcare customers. In one joint engagement, the companies
partnered to serve a global SaaS provider that was trying to do two
things in parallel: deliver a more cost-effective infrastructure
for the workloads they intended to run on premises and support
their multicloud ambitions.
Through the partnership, Rackspace Technology can provide quotes
and marketplace offers for Cloud Block Store on AWS. Cloud Block
Store from Pure Storage allows customers to develop, migrate, and
run applications in a native cloud environment and leverage a
hybrid cloud data plane, delivering enterprise storage capabilities
natively in AWS for everything from production to disaster
recovery. Pure Storage provides enhanced capabilities for complex
database workloads, such as SAP, Oracle, and SQL, and its Splunk
SmartStore reduces overhead costs, increases availability, and
improves operational efficiencies for healthcare and financial
companies.
“Companies increasingly strive to deliver a more cost-effective
infrastructure for the workloads they intend to run on premises,
while leveraging a partner to support their multicloud ambitions,”
said Peter FitzGibbon, VP Strategic Alliance Partnerships,
Rackspace Technology. “Through our partnership with Pure Storage
and its Pure Evergreen Storage program, we are uniquely positioned
to meet customers where they are, enabling them to modernize
applications, build new products, adopt innovative technologies,
and drive down their total cost of ownership.” “Partnering with
Rackspace Technology has empowered our joint customers to fully
embrace the power of both hybrid and multicloud technologies and
deliver incredible customer experiences,” said Jack Hogan, VP of
Technology Strategy at Pure Storage. “In a time when a multicloud
strategy is more of the rule, rather than the exception, we’re
excited to combine our industry leading storage technology and
Rackspace Technology’s industry leading cloud expertise to provide
a differentiated solution that empowers customers on their cloud
journey.”
