Rackspace is looking forward to more growth and expansion within Asia in 2018. The cloud, managed hosting and colocation services provider has integrated acquisition Datapipe's people, capabilities and data centre infrastructure into its operations in Asia.
The Datapipe acquisition is the largest in Rackspace’s history and follows last year’s buyout of TriCore Solutions, a provider of management of enterprise applications.
Rackspace now has partnerships with the world’s top public cloud infrastructure platforms: Alibaba Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure. This complements its experience in private, public and hybrid clouds and managed hosting, including long-standing partnerships with VMware and OpenStack. Rackspace also offers managed services for enterprise applications in the Oracle and SAP ecosystems and for digital marketing and e-commerce, alongside colocation services via data centres across the region.
“With its recent strategic acquisitions, Rackspace is uniquely poised to tackle the growing needs of its Asia-region customers,” said Rackspace Asia VP and GM, Colin Chan. “We see tremendous growth opportunities for Asia and we’re looking forward to continuing our emphasis on the region in the coming years.”
Reinhard Waldinger, MD, Rackspace International noted, “With Chan at the helm of a powerhouse regional leadership team and a combined workforce of more than 500 specialists in Asia, Rackspace is now uniquely positioned to extend our world-famous Fanatical Experience and results-obsessed, 24x7x365 customer service to mainland China to proactively minimise and rapidly resolve issues and support customers’ business success.”
Formerly the VP and GM for Datapipe Asia, Chan heads up a strengthened Rackspace Asia management team:
· VP of Sales, North Asia, Martin Yan
· Head of Sales, South Asia, Ali Azarian
· Head of Digital and Tech Alliances, Asia, Dave Mommen
· Head of Professional Services, Asia, Gene Tang
· Head of Solution Architecture, Asia, Matthew Heap
· Head of Cloud Practice, Asia, Stevie Walsh
· Director of Marketing, Asia, Jasmine Ee
In April, Rackspace was ranked No. 9 on Great Place to Work’s Best Workplace in Asia 2018 list. This comes on the heels of other recent Rackspace recognitions, including being named Expert Partner of the Year for Hong Kong by Alibaba Cloud.
"Organisations across Asia Pacific are increasingly adopting cloud technologies and infrastructure to enable digital transformation. Public, private and hybrid cloud architectures are enabling organisations to build more agile infrastructures and overcome challenges associated with traditional on-premise deployment models,” Nishchal Khorana, Director - Emerging Technologies, Cloud & Data Center-Digital Transformation, Frost & Sullivan said.
“Rackspace is now uniquely positioned to partner with enterprises and address their cloud requirements. A global presence, strong services portfolio and strategic partnerships with technology vendors and public cloud services providers strengthens Rackspace's value proposition to existing and potential customers.”
“Rackspace’s expertise in architecting, building and maintaining a cloud environment was a perfect fit to meet our cloud transformation needs. Its 24x7x365 monitoring coupled with ITIL* service management and security services gave us a peace of mind. We no longer have to worry about infrastructure downtime or end of support of our hardware and software,” said Suresh Subramaniam, CIO of SAOR region for Yusen Logistics.
*ITIL stands for information technology infrastructure library, a set of guidelines for IT service management.
