The Benefits of Open Source: Red Hat Summit 2018

Join Rackspace experts to learn more about the possibilities and business benefits of open source IT solutions at this year’s Red Hat Summit May 8-10 in San Francisco.

Rackspace experts will be at booth #401, available to talk to customers about their needs and challenges, and share the experiences and insights we’ve gained as the world’s leading operator of open source private cloud.

Rackspace and Red Hat have been working together for more than a decade, including co-engineering the open-source solution Rackspace Private Cloud powered by Red Hat, which offers customers a single point of contact to deploy, manage and maintain their private cloud environment. That means you don’t have to purchase servers and employ internal support; instead your organization can move to a flexible OPEX model.

Not only that, with your infrastructure will be fully managed by OpenStack and Red Hat experts at Rackspace, meaning you don’t have to find, hire, and retain staff with specific OpenStack skills. Your developers can focus on quickly creating innovative applications and services for your business.

Rackspace and Red Hat work together to provide optimized, enterprise-hardened solution to customers. Watch to learn more about the customer benefits of Rackspace and Red Hat solutions:
