RackForce vCloud

RackForce VMware vCloud® Powered Services.

Delivering on the promise of the Hybrid Cloud in Canada.

If you are a CIO or Director of IT you are in a bind. On one hand, your organization is being asked to become more agile and lean. On the other hand, you are being asked to reduce operational costs.

Commodity public clouds based in the US are often pitched as a solution to these challenges. Unfortunately, such clouds potentially come with compromises in critical areas such as security, compliance, and infrastructure compatibility. It can also be difficult to migrate legacy applications and services to such a cloud and then cost-effectively manage them over time.

Canadian based RackForce offers a VMware vCloud Powered service that provides you with the best of both worlds. Now you can work with RackForce, as a provider of vCloud Powered services, to get the resource-optimized cloud capabilities you need without compromise. That means you can easily migrate applications or workloads from your VMware-based environments to RackForce's external cloud (often called enterprise hybrid cloud) and back again. Now you can manage IT services in a consistent, straightforward way, regardless of whether those services execute on- or off-site (or you can actually span both environments).

RackForce's vCloud service is completely interoperable with your existing VMware-virtualized environment.
  • Unlike commodity public clouds that require software to be re-written to a proprietary platform, applications to be run in RackForce vCloud Powered services do not require any modifications and the data and service is based in Canada.
  • You have many legacy applications sitting behind your firewall, which you need to continue to manage and support, are built on legacy code bases. VMware's platform-agnostic cloud and RackForce's Layer 2 network connected right to your data center means you now have perfect support for those applications in the cloud.
