SAN ANTONIO, June 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Following a series of acquisitions and strategic partnerships, Rackspace today announced plans to provide comprehensive solutions across the entire technology transformation lifecycle.
These four solution areas, focused on cloud optimization, security, cloud native enablement and data modernization, bring to market the company’s significant multicloud expertise under the new name Rackspace Technology.
These efforts are a culmination of the company’s massive transformation over the past year, led by CEO Kevin Jones.
