Breakout Sessions

From reimaging what is possible on VMware Cloud to freeing your data for greater mobility between the cloud environments, to adopting agile & cloud native development with Tanzu, Rackspace has put together some great sessions you won’t want to miss.

In this session, we will discuss how to utilize VMware vCloud Director and the software-defined data center stack to engineer a VMware Cloud experience with attributes such as consumption-based usage and billing, self-service management, and real-time provisioning as well as unique capabilities, including mixing and matching shared and dedicated tenancy seamlessly in a single environment. Get a technical walk-through of the platform (VxRail, VMware vSAN, VMware NSX-T, networking) and hear how we helped our clients automate complex configuration tasks, enable rapid deployment, and enhance visibility over their environment for greater control and on-demand responsiveness. We will demonstrate how to use Terraform on top of VMware to run infrastructure as code and deploy resources in multi-cloud environments by changing a few lines of code.

Cloud Reimagined [MCL2882S]

Most established businesses now find themselves in a hybrid cloud world. And although some may have had a mixed experience of public cloud, the die has been cast and extending the attributes of cloud throughout their IT estates is a clear goal. For many of these organizations, going to the cloud has meant adopting other vendors ways and abandoning major operational and app investments to rebuild in the new platform. But there’s no need to abandon your VMware investment. There are now a great many options open to organizations for bringing both public and private cloud benefits to their innermost business critical applications and operations through the VMware stack. Join Rackspace Technology and VMware for a fire side chat to hear why it’s time to reimagine cloud and how VMware Cloud and Cloud Director has helped Rackspace change the cloud conversation for its customers from a public vs private, to one that focuses on business outcomes.

Adopting Containers Through VMware Tanzu – The Benefits [MCL2874S]

Adopting agile and cloud native development methods and tools is key to the future success of many businesses. Most businesses adopted virtualization many years ago to increase the efficiency and utilization of their IT estate and are now seeking ways to take that investment forward into the cloud native world. For VMware customers, VMware Tanzu provides a clear path toward that goal and the business benefits that it can yield. As one of VMware’s top partners, helping customers adopt a more developer-centric approach to cloud native development through the adoption of containers and Kubernetes is core to Rackspace Technology services for VMware.

A Public Cloud Experience Everywhere Demands Data Freedom [MCL2876S]

Most businesses are finding that they are operating a hybrid multi-cloud, and so one of the most important considerations for success is data access. Furthermore, with applications being deployed where best makes sense for the business, being able to access proprietary data with whatever application is critical. But therein lies the potential for uncontrolled costs because most public clouds do not charge for data ingress, but they do for egress. If data sovereignty and security are also then taken into account, it becomes clear that a cloud-neutral data repository that doesn’t charge for ingress/egress is a valuable asset. Through an ecosystem of ecosystems, RackConnect Global offers businesses private network access and security to business locations, hyperscalers and cloud-neutral locations, enabling true data freedom.
