Generative AI is becoming a more and more crucial component of modernisation today. But successful analytics and AI implementation depends on navigating a complex data landscape.
One way organisations are maximising returns on GenAI initiatives is by embedding them into existing applications, thereby maintaining the workflow of users and supporting both training and retrieval of AI.

Join Rackspace Technology and AWS as we dive into the world of data management, exploring the critical elements of DataOps, data governance, and data quality for successful analytics and AI implementation. Learn how to navigate the complex landscape of data cataloging and compliance to unlock the full potential of your data-driven initiatives in this Digital Showcase.

Lassen Sie sich von unseren Experten zeigen, wie Sie Ihre Reise zu modernen Anwendungen durch den Einsatz nativer Cloud-Technologien beschleunigen können.

Frühe Ansätze zur Cloud-Einführung konzentrierten sich auf die Migration von Anwendungen und Infrastruktur mit minimalen Änderungen an Code oder Architektur. Während diese migrierten Workloads manchmal von der Elastizität und Skalierbarkeit der Cloud profitierten, erfordert die Erschließung des vollen Potenzials der Cloud eine Modernisierung des Anwendungscodes und der Architektur.

Nehmen Sie an unserem Webinar teil und erfahren Sie, wie wir Ihnen helfen können, die Komplexität moderner Architekturen in der Public Cloud zu überwinden und die damit verbundenen neuen Prozesse integrieren:

- Serverless Refactoring: Erstellen Sie „selbstheilende“, automatisch skalierende Anwendungen. Serverlose Architekturen bieten die höchsten Effizienz- und Kostenvorteile der Cloud, indem sie fast das gesamte Infrastruktur- und Software-Management auf die Plattform verlagern.
- Container-Einführung: Wenn Serverless keine Option ist, sind Container die bevorzugte Lösung für die Bereitstellung moderner, komplexer und verteilter Anwendungen. Container erfordern oft nur minimale Änderungen an der Anwendung, was sie zum perfekten Evolutionsschritt macht, wenn ein signifikantes Refactoring nicht angebracht ist.
- Cloud-natives Replatforming: Modernisieren Sie Ihre Anwendung schrittweise, indem Sie verwaltete Plattformdienste als Drop-in-Ersatz für Datenbanken, Messaging, API-Verwaltung, Protokollierung, Überwachung, Alarmierung und mehr einsetzen.

Wir untersuchen auch Beispiele aus der Praxis, wie Rackspace Technology die Einführung moderner Anwendungen für die Modernisierung von .NET zu .NET Core, cloud-native SaaS-Plattformen und die Dekomposition von Monolithen zu Microservices beschleunigt hat.

Accelerate innovation with a cloud native mindset | Episode 3

In the past year, more businesses than ever have launched new products on the cloud. However, by continuing to rely on the cloud as a data center and maintaining siloed ways of working, businesses are missing out on the endless opportunities that cloud native adoption can offer. 

In the context of cloud native development, DevOps can help you evolve how you develop your applications and build your teams, keeping you informed of new technologies that can further optimise your efficiency. 

In this episode of Rackspace’s “Accelerate innovation with a cloud native mindset” series, we explore how DevOps can be used to optimise your cloud native adoption and share a roadmap for developing DevOps capabilities within your team. 

- Continuous evolution as a driver for employee engagement, consumer satisfaction and product innovation 
- How to design processes that allow employees to become cloud natives
- Why traditional MSPs may be hindering your company’s progress

Speakers:

Accelerate innovation with a cloud native mindset | Episode 2

Making the evolution to cloud native is not just about adopting a new software. In fact, when businesses embrace the full extent of cloud native, they adopt new methodologies and ways of working that harness cloud tools to drive innovation and optimise efficiencies. 

To reap the full benefits of cloud native technology, we need to change the way we think about IT infrastructure. While conventionally, corporate IT was about using and protecting servers, a cloud native approach to IT is more transformative, with more focus on application-focussed elements further up the stack.

By embracing a transformative, cloud native mindset, companies are able to make improvements to the core product and customer experience, in a way that would have been unimaginable in the past. 

In this episode of Rackspace Technology’s “Accelerate innovation with a cloud native mindset” series, we’ll be debunking the myths around cloud native adoption and exploring what it means to truly embrace a cloud native mindset. 

- Some common misconceptions about cloud native adoption 
- How to get started in your journey to becoming cloud native
- The importance of adopting cloud native ways of working
- How to harness a cloud native mindset within your organisation or team

Speakers:
- Taylor Bird, VP - Technology Strategy, Rackspace
- Jeanne Morain, Founder Digital/Cloud Strategist, iSpeak Cloud

Leveling Up IT Operations for the Cloud Evolution - EMEA

Accelerate innovation with a cloud native mindset | Episode 1

Too often, companies limit the cloud’s business case to cost saving and scalability, which ultimately overlooks the cloud’s potential as a tool for accelerated innovation. 

Businesses who are capable of embracing the full potential of cloud technology benefit from its ability to empower cross-functional teams, enable faster releases through automation and enhance software architecture. But successful cloud adoption takes effort, dedication and time. To unlock the full benefits of the cloud and achieve native success, leaders need to organise their teams more strategically, encouraging collaboration across teams and automating repetitive processes to optimise innovation. 

In this episode of Rackspace’s “Accelerate innovation with a cloud native mindset” series, we’ll be exploring the benefits of cloud native adoption and presenting a roadmap for successful digital transformation. 

Topics for discussion include:
- The comprehensive business case for cloud native adoption 
- Rethinking support models - the role of fully managed services in your journey to cloud native adoption
- How cloud native adoption can empower your teams with the authority to make their own decisions

Modernising Basware To Be Cloud Native

Companies are realizing the value of using ML models to drive better outcomes for their businesses. Harnessing the predictive power of their data with ML models to remain competitive is becoming more critical to business operations, yet 60% of ML models never make it to production. This is due to complications often exacerbated by outdated business processes and the fact that it's not a core competency for typical data science teams.

In this webinar, we will explore these specific challenges and illustrate how familiar cloud services can be stitched together with MLOps Foundations, enabling rapid development, training, scoring and deployment of models across multiple environments with strong governance and security controls to provide a foundation for successful model lifecycle management.

What we'll cover:
- Introduction to MLOps Foundations powered by Model Factory
- The gap between the Data Scientists and ML Operations
- The distinction between MLOps and DevOps
- Architecture patterns necessary for elements of effective MLOps
- How a “model factory” architecture holistically addresses CI/CD for ML

Demo that will explore:
- Quick feedback and traceability for model development
- ML framework agnostic tooling for packaging of models
- Platform agnostic continuous/rolling deployment
