SAN ANTONIO – Rackspace Technology has collaborated with Apria Healthcare to modernize its IT infrastructure, resulting in a 32% reduction in operating costs. Rackspace Technology collaborated with Apria Healthcare to manage, modernize and secure its data center by consolidating and collocating its existing infrastructure by leveraging Rackspace Professional Services for Amazon Web Services (AWS), Rackspace Private Cloud powered by VMware and Managed AWS infrastructure. The move to the new infrastructure resulted in efficiencies and savings, and bolstered the company’s online storefronts with managed hosting during the peak busy season. “Like most businesses, we really just want to focus on our core business and have our engineers and architects behind our business model and better aligned to create the revenue streams rather than being in the data center game,” said Xavier Coto, Apria’s vice president of infrastructure and operations. “The bench for engineers, the knowledge and certifications and attention to detail at Rackspace Technology is second-to-none and we wouldn’t have been able to hit our goal timeline if Rackspace Technology didn’t move as quickly as they did.” Apria was maintaining the company’s data center with legacy IT infrastructure to service customer needs.
