Rackspace Technology Powers Hands-on Labs (HOL) at VMware Explore 2024

As we gear up for VMware Explore 2024, Rackspace Technology® is proud to showcase our role in one of the event's most exciting features – the Hands-on Labs (HOL). This year, we're taking center stage in Las Vegas (August 26-29) and Barcelona (November 4-7), demonstrating our expertise in delivering innovative ideas and strategies.

The great thing about our partnership and our participation at VMware Explore 2024 is that it not only gives attendees hands-on experience with innovative technologies, it also lets us demonstrate the real-world impact of our solutions.

Elevating the HOL experience

The Hands-on Labs at VMware Explore offer attendees a unique, immersive experience to test-drive the latest VMware technologies risk-free, without licenses or installation. Powered by VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), a comprehensive cloud infrastructure platform integrating vSphere, vSAN, NSX and vRealize Suite, HOL provides self-paced access to real-world scenarios and use cases. This setup delivers an unparalleled learning experience, allowing thousands of participants to explore VMware's software-defined services for compute, storage, networking, security and cloud management.

Rackspace Technology has been chosen as a key partner for VMware Explore 2024, hosting and managing a significant portion of the HOL infrastructure. Our SDDC Flex solution, built on VCF and VMware Cloud Director, offers a fully managed, low-latency platform that simplifies VCF environment deployment. This allows users to enjoy self-service access to VMware services, freeing the VMware team to focus on content and an optimized user experience.

Our deep technical expertise enables rapid scaling for peak volumes and quick infrastructure deployment. In addition, Rackspace Technology fully managed solutions and geographically dispersed data centers minimize latency and IT burdens. This comprehensive approach helps ensure consistent performance and high satisfaction across VMware’s HOL program.
