Rackspace Technology Accelerates Momentum with AWS Through Customer Transformations, Partner Designations, and Keynote Presentation at AWS re:Invent 2021
November 30 2021 - 10:05AM
Rackspace Technology® (NASDAQ: RXT), a leading end-to-end
multicloud technology solutions company, today announced its
momentum with Amazon Web Services (AWS) through customer
transformations, Amazon Quicksight Service Delivery (Amazon
Quicksight SDP) and AWS Shield Advanced partner designations, and
an upcoming leadership session on the main stage at AWS re:Invent
2021.
Rackspace Technology is an “all in” AWS Partner
Network (APN) Premier Consulting Partner that has deep AWS
expertise and scalability to take on the most complex AWS projects.
Rackspace Technology customer Awaze demonstrate those
capabilities:
AwazeDue to its transition to AWS
public cloud from an on-premises environment, supported by
Rackspace Technology, Awaze, Europe’s leading managed vacation
rentals group, has been able to meet the huge volumes of traffic to
its Hoseasons and Cottages.com websites at points this year.
Tightly aligning compute resources to demand as part of the
multi-million-pound investment has led to a 30% reduction in web
session costs for Awaze.
Awaze, the self-catering giant, which offers over
90,000 accommodation choices in 36 countries to more than six
million holidaymakers a year, has seen unprecedented surges in
demand over the last 12 months thanks to the rising popularity of
domestic breaks in the wake of the global pandemic.
“Our partnership with Rackspace Technology has
allowed us to optimize our cloud footprint and make it elastic at
every layer and across every point of the customer and owner
journey,” said James Baird, Technical Operations Director at Awaze.
“This means it seamlessly expands and contracts in line with
volatile patterns of demand, maintaining robustly consistent
response times and performance whilst also being highly
commercially optimised.”
Rackspace Technology, combined with the newly
formed Onica by Rackspace Technology business group, achieved 15
AWS Partner competency designations within the APN, along with
2,700+ AWS Certifications. In addition, Onica by Rackspace has
attained the AWS Machine Learning Competency designation. This
validated designation differentiates Onica by Rackspace as an APN
Partner that has demonstrated expertise in building artificial
intelligence / machine learning (AI/ML) solutions on AWS and has
helped organizations automate and innovate to solve their data
challenges and gain actionable outcomes.
Recently, Onica by Rackspace Technology has earned
the Quicksight SDP and AWS Shield Advanced Partner
designations.
Amazon Quicksight SDP
DesignationRackspace has obtained a service delivery
designation for Amazon QuickSight. The qualification for the
program requires passing service-specific verification of customer
references and a technical review on behalf of AWS. The designation
provides customers confidence that they are working with AWS
Partners who can offer the most up-to-date and relevant cloud
solutions.
The AWS Quicksight SDP showcases APN Partners who
have proven expertise delivering specific AWS services, allowing
them to differentiate themselves in the marketplace and highlight
areas of specialization to AWS customers.
