Rackspace Technology and Pure Storage Amplify the Performance of STaaS with Google Anthos
June 03 2021 - 10:00AM
Rackspace Technology® (NASDAQ: RXT), a leading end-to-end
multicloud technology solutions company, today announced that it
has worked with Pure Storage® to amplify the performance of its
storage-as-a-service (STaaS) with Google Anthos to deliver
on-premises performance in a cloud-like environment.
For more than 10 years, Pure Storage has served
over 8,000 customers with its STaaS offering, delivering a modern
data experience that empowers organizations to run their operations
as a true, automated, STaaS model seamlessly across multiple
clouds. Pure Storage helps customers put data to use while reducing
the complexity and expense of managing the infrastructure behind
it.
Pure Storage stores data for Fortune 500 companies
across all industries including companies in the finance,
healthcare, government, retail, media and education sectors. To
better serve its high-profile customer base and make integrations
seamless, Pure Storage identified Kubernetes containers as the
perfect solution for their STaaS.
“A few years ago, we saw that containers were going
to be the next big thing,” said Simon Dodsley, Technical Director
at Pure Storage. “After evaluating our STaaS, we found that the
incredibly fast, API-driven, Kubernetes persistent storage
containers were a no brainer for us.”
Pure Storage leveraged Rackspace Technology to
design and build a reference architecture for the new solution that
integrates with the new Google Anthos platform. Anthos provides a
consistent platform for all customer application deployments, both
legacy as well as cloud native, while offering a service-centric
view of customer environments.
“When Pure Storage decided it wanted to build
reference architecture on Anthos and leverage Kubernetes, Google
Cloud looks to partners like Rackspace Technology to help
successfully demonstrate their value on such a robust solution
resulting in a boon for the customer’s business,” said Kelsey Domme
Google Cloud Client Director for Pure Storage. “With Pure Storage,
it was truly a collaborative effort of four teams – Rackspace
Technology, IGNW, Google and Pure that made it possible to bring
this Anthos MVP vision to a successful outcome."
“Together, our teams stood up a high-performing
reference architecture that achieved unheard-of performance in only
half the allotted time,” says Jeff DeVerter, Chief Technology
Evangelist of Rackspace Technology. “In only 45 days, we were able
to deliver a minimum viable product, allowing Pure Storage to take
the time savings and repurpose it to enhance the overall
project.”
