Cloud-based systems are the future for cities and counties looking to reduce budgets and use staff wisely. The cloud allows governments to end constant upgrades to legacy systems, improve security, and invest in operations—not capital expenses. Join the Governing Institute for an overview of the benefits of a migration to the cloud and gain valuable insights from the City of Rochester’s successful transition.

This document discusses how self-service cloud provisioning can serve as a pragmatic customer-centric approach for managing the proliferation of public and private clouds. It discusses customer expectations, critical success factors, and key metrics required for a successful implementation of such an offering.

As technology continues to advance and the new reality is based on an infrastructure that includes physical, virtual and cloud resources, IT departments need to find new ways of managing and securing this vastly different technology ecosystem.

Most common hybrid cloud architectures.

Building a cloud operations team isn’t a new concept. But what if you need to build an operations team from the ground up for your applications that are running on Google Cloud Platform? Over the course of eight years at Rackspace, I’ve had the opportunity to build operations teams that have supported thousands of customers. When given the opportunity to build out a new operations team focused on managed services for Google Cloud Platform, I knew we needed to approach things a little differently.

Many businesses want to realize the power of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) without having to incur the challenge and expense of managing it themselves. Some businesses lack the technical expertise or capacity to operate cloud infrastructure, tools and applications while others may have the ability but choose to maintain focus on their core business. Many larger businesses are on a multi-phased journey to the cloud, requiring transition and management services that can adapt to an evolving set of needs. Rackspace Managed Services for Google Cloud Platform is the answer for businesses facing these challenges. As Google’s first Premier Managed Services Partner, Rackspace blends technology and automation plus human expertise to deliver ongoing architecture, security and 24x7x365 operations backed by GCP-certified engineers and architects.

Controlling cloud costs is a leading challenge for enterprises at each stage of their cloud journey. Fortunately, companies utilizing a public cloud can benefit from the strategic partnership between Google and Rackspace. Google Cloud Platform is a state-of-the-art, cost-friendly public cloud, and Google has selected Rackspace as its first managed services provider for GCP, based on Rackspace’s vast cloud expertise and dedication to a fanatical customer experience. With Managed GCP by Rackspace, companies can maximize their cost savings on Google Cloud while also saving on hiring, training and retaining top talent to operate their cloud operations. In this post we will focus on the ten most significant cost-saving opportunities.

One of the biggest challenges IT ops teams face is the lack of visibility across its infrastructure — physical, virtual and in the cloud. Making things even more complex, any infrastructure monitoring solution needs to not only meet the IT team’s needs, but also the needs of other stakeholders including line of business (LOB) owners and application developers. For companies already using a monitoring platform like Splunk, monitoring blindspots arise from the need to prioritize across multiple departments. This report outlines a four-step approach for an effective IT operations monitoring (ITOM) strategy.

firms is to build operating models that are ready for anything. Join American Banker Editor-at-Large, Penny Crosman, and former IBM Global leader for strategy and design, Robert Schwartz, as they discuss this idea, pulling clips from a recent event for industry leaders, including: Bridget van Kalingen, IBM on redefining success with cloud, AI, quantum and blockchain Shari van Cleave, Wells Fargo on rethinking data strategies in the age of AI Bret King, Moven on rebuilding the bank from the ground up Rob Bauer, AIG on the ways to get started with transformative projects Marty Lippert, MetLife on creating space for innovation by migrating core operations off of legacy infrastructure And many more.

Without specific and explicit design decisions about not only the network architecture but also network operations,enterprises risk drifting toward a future of many clouds, each with their own operational nuances. Those who are not mindful about managing new additions increase the complexity of their network with each variation. This white paper discusses how to approach the design of the network and operations in the move from cloud to multicloud. The focus is on meeting the business needs of today and tomorrow, battling complexity, preserving the possibilities for options, and supporting IT’s role as the steward of technology decisions for the business.

This paper is a high-level outline of how application release operations will change in response to the cloud, and it defines the key ingredients needed to help ensure that your enterprise’s release operations for production applications don’t get left behind.

Application consolidation can be an important cloud initiative. By consolidating applications on an all-flash, cloud-centric platform, IT has the opportunity to reduce costs, lower risk and support a more integrated and interoperable infrastructure. But for any organization thinking about application consolidation, it is important to closely evaluate the features and functions of the underlying all-flash storage platform. You want to make sure that your platform not only delivers the performance you need, but also enables you to reduce costs, eliminate migrations, simplify operations and support cloud-enabled business agility.

Directed at cloud architecting concerns, this paper covers streamlining complexity at scale, knowing infrastructure state, and using easily repeatable patterns that bolster security, compliance, and disaster recovery. Get this white paper now.
