Accelerating the Value of Cloud, Anywhere: Rackspace at VMworld

Hybrid and multi-cloud will be the hot topics of conversation at VMworld 2019, as organizations increasingly come to understand that they must be able to run applications and access data everywhere and anywhere for the best user experience and business value. That often means enabling both public and private clouds, with access to on-premise and colocation facilities to ensure frictionless data mobility between the various cloud environments. There’s a lot to consider and learn, which is why VMworld is such a valuable event. That’s also why you’ll see a common theme in what Rackspace will be talking about. Our sessions and the conversations we’d love to have with you are focused on how to address the challenges of digital transformation, and how to enable IT to deliver the best result for your business across any environment — cloud, core or at the edge.
