Rackspace Technology expands relationship with AWS

Rackspace Technology has signed a strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) that puts Rackspace Technology service block catalogue offerings in the hands of more companies globally.

Rackspace Technology helps customers realise the power of the cloud faster by delivering end-to-end services including advisory, design, migration, management and optimisation across applications, data and security. The modular service block catalogue offerings allow customers to tap into Rackspace Technology’s managed services expertise to meet their needs, including cloud strategy, migration, cost governance, complex cloud operations, and security support.

AWS and Rackspace Technology have also established dedicated teams across both companies to support customers with AWS-specific strategy, cloud-native development, containers, application modernisation, and workload management.

“By strengthening our relationship with AWS, our preferred cloud provider, it makes it easier for our customers to accelerate the value they realise from the cloud,” said Matt Stoyka, Chief Solutions Officer, Rackspace Technology.

“AWS continues to innovate its cloud solutions and we are pleased to enter into a strategic collaboration agreement to bring these solutions to our collective customers.”

Said Doug Yeum, Head of Worldwide Channel and Alliances, Amazon Web Services: “Rackspace Technology has demonstrated a strong commitment to customers, and we look forward to continuing to work with them to bring innovative solutions to market.”

Rackspace Technology also has extended the reach of AWS services to several new regions, including the UAE, Malaysia, India, and New Zealand. This allows more customers around the world to benefit from the company’s Fanatical Experience, which includes 14 AWS Competency designations. The most recent of these are the AWS Machine Learning Competency and the AWS SaaS Competency.
