Rackspace with Jeff DeVerter

Rackspace is a multi cloud solutions provider that has evolved beyond its cloud computing origins into a diverse set of services and support offerings. Customers work with Rackspace to adopt cloud application deployments, modern data analytics, and all the other opportunities offered by cloud computing. Much of this occurs through partnerships where Rackspace provides teams of engineers to work with the customer.

Jeff DeVerter  is the CTO of products and services at Rackspace. He’s also the host of the podcast Cloud Talk, a show about cloud trends and technologies. Jeff previously served as the CTO of Microsoft Technology at Rackspace, so our conversation began with a discussion of Microsoft-based migrations.
