Cloud hosting company Rackspace will license CloudCheckr’s governance platform to further accelerate its managed service, ‘Fanatical Support’ for AWS. The license agreement would enables Rackspace to enhance its ability to provide customers with a comprehensive and scalable cloud management solution that satisfies cost, security, utilization and compliance concerns.
CloudCheckr empowers IT, Security, and Finance teams by uniting cost management, security intelligence, compliance, and cloud automation into a unified cloud management platform for AWS. CloudCheckr would increase operational efficiency and reduce risk while helping save money.
“Cloud cost and security management are top of mind for all organizations as more and more workloads move to the cloud,” said Erik Carlin, VP of Product and Engineering for Fanatical Support for AWS at Rackspace. “CloudCheckr offers a market leading platform in the cloud management space and integrating the CloudCheckr tooling into our Fanatical Support for AWS offer enables us to provide customers and Rackspace engineers and architects with powerful capabilities to optimize spend and mitigate risk in the cloud.”
Leveraging the CloudCheckr platform, Rackspace customers would now be able to gain valuable insights into cloud spending trends, opportunities to purchase Reserved Instances (RIs) and risk mitigation across all AWS accounts. The CloudCheckr platform has already been integrated into the ‘Fanatical Support for AWS’ tool, Compass, and is immediately available for use by all ‘Fanatical Support for AWS’ customers.
“CloudCheckr is dedicated to providing next-generation cloud management capabilities on top of the AWS platform, and this license agreement demonstrates CloudCheckr’s leadership position, unique vision, and the value of our platform to the AWS MSP & Reseller market,” said Aaron Newman, Co-Founder and CTO of CloudCheckr. “Since its launch, Rackspace has established itself as a leading AWS managed service provider with deep technical expertise. We are honored that they have selected CloudCheckr as a cornerstone technology for their Fanatical Support for AWS offering.”
