Managed cloud company Rackspace has teamed up with Google Cloud to deliver a new managed services offering for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) customers that will launch later this year.
The managed support services will offer added cloud architecture support, onboarding, data migration expertise, as well as ongoing operational support for customers, to help ensure optimal cloud application performance.
“The strategic relationship with Google is an exciting launch that addresses a growing market need,” says Patrick Lee, general manager of the Google business at Rackspace. “The momentum around GCP is building, and as businesses move workloads to this platform, they’re looking for expertise and a support partner to help with that journey.”
“Rackspace’s commitment to providing results-obsessed customer service mirrors Google’s commitment to customer support,” says Benjamin Smith, director, Engineering Support, Google Cloud. “We’re working with Rackspace to extend on-call engineering support to our shared customers. Rackspace already has Google Certified Professionals on staff, and we will continue to work together to roll out managed services for GCP.”
Rackspace has been offering managed services for Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Microsoft Office 365 since 2015, and became a distributor of Microsoft’s cloud products last July. With the addition of Google Cloud Platform to its lineup, the hosted infrastructure vendor now partners with all three of the top public cloud platforms.
