Rackspace launches cloud consultancy service while firing staff • The Register
'"Rackspace has been pivoting away from its original cloud platform business for years to focus on providing high-end OpenStack services and consulting. '
'Previously, Pund-IT principal analyst Charles King told The Register that the Apollo Global acquisition of Rackspace was unlikely to have a "serious impact on the company's customers". '
'Hot on the heels of a global haircut of its workforce, Rackspace is moving into the professional services space as it chases those "digital transformation" pennies. '
' "Plus, given the $4.3bn price of the deal, it'd be idiotic if Apollo did anything to undermine Rackspace's existing business or upset customers." ®'
'Following the announcement of Jeff Cotten as company president, the newly private Rackspace has promised more professional services in support of public clouds and VMware as it enters a tipping point year. '
