Case Study: Rackspace achieves faster global private-cloud deployments and 39% cost savings with Dell Technologies vSAN Ready Nodes

A global leader in managed cloud services capitalizes on Dell EMC vSAN Ready Nodes to bring its customers innovative private cloud solutions

Rackspace, a global leader in managed cloud services, needed highly reliable, quick-to-deploy infrastructure to deliver its Private Cloud as a Service worldwide. To address this, Rackspace partnered with Dell Technologies and deployed Dell EMC vSAN Ready Nodes built on Dell EMC PowerEdge servers with Intel Xeon processors.

Dell Technologies provided preconfigured vSAN Ready Nodes that reduced deployment risk and sped rollouts, cutting implementation timeframes from months to weeks and enabling global scale. The solution delivered highly reliable private cloud services, helped Rackspace customers realize about 39% savings versus building and operating private clouds themselves, and supported Rackspace’s stringent SLAs for uptime and response.
