Rackspace Unveils Pro Services for AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is currently the leader in the public cloud market, and Rackspace just announced plans to expand its managed services offerings around the top dog due to an increase in customer demand.

Clients are looking for assistance in managing cloud workloads, which may have been the inspiration for this new portfolio of Professional Services for AWS. It aims to provide what the organization has dubbed, customized expertise for AWS.

Rackspace defines the Fanatical Support for AWS Professional Services as a set of managed services produced to help clients that are new to AWS or those who are looking to up their initial investment. Architectural design, DevOps, migrations, and cloud automation are just some of the services Rackspace plans to offer.

“We are seeing significant interest from AWS customers for specialized expertise in discrete, value added areas, and we are committed to developing our offers and capabilities to help them fully leverage AWS throughout the entirety of their cloud journey,” Vice President and General Manager of Fanatical Support for AWS at Rackspace, Prashanth Chandrasekar, said.

The organization says this new tool goes along with its professional services, including GSS, which aims to help clients with planning, producing, moving and managing their cloud implementations.

“At AWS, we’re excited about helping customers realize their target business outcomes more quickly through a combination of Rackspace’s migration capabilities, and Fanatical Support with our AWS architects and implementation specialists,” VP of AWS Professional Services Todd Weatherby said in a statement.

Rackspace has invested in other public clouds before, including the Google Cloud Platform.
