Rack provides “easy button”

evolving production-scale system. It is
N
important to Rack not to increase the
operational burden and complexity for
cloud and data center managers but
rather empower them to deliver
solutions more repeatedly in a shorter
amount of time.
Taking example of one customer in
particular, their mission is to provide a
self-service model to which allows for
the customers to have the choice of
using any DevOps tool, softwaredefined-networking,
cloud or physical
infrastructure to build, test and deploy
N
an application. Because Rack has the
ability to intelligently provision,
compose and orchestrate workflows for
any platform or technology, they
automate and remove the guesswork
and risk from how hybrid
infrastructure needs to function as a
singular system to deliver value to the
provider and consumer.

While talking about the future of Rack
Rob says, “We are truly in the golden
age of technology. The innovation and

delivery platforms and data center
technologies to solve business
problems have never been higher. With

production-scale adoption, ongoing
management, maintaining expertise,
