CSC, a global leader in next-generation IT
services and hybrid cloud solutions, and Racemi, a U.S.-based pioneer in
migrating applications to the public cloud, today announced that the
companies have entered into an agreement to jointly help clients
accelerate their transformation to leading cloud environments -
including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and IBM Softlayer.
Under the terms of the agreement, CSC will make
an investment in Racemi to accelerate development of DynaCenter,
Racemi's industry leading suite of migration automation tools. Racemi
offers fast, cost effective cloud migration solutions that automatically
migrate existing physical or virtual server workloads into the cloud.
The Racemi relationship will enhance CSC's
ability to lead clients' transition to the digital enterprise and
reinforces CSC's commitment to cloud transformation. Thanks to its
industry-leading CSC Agility Platform, the company provides a safe,
seamless and rapid migration of enterprise workloads to the private and
public cloud.
"CIO's are driving hard to shift enterprise
workloads into the cloud ecosystem, including Amazon Web Services and
Microsoft Azure, to produce new innovation and business agility,
maximize technology investment, and better serve employees and
customers," said Stephen Hilton, CSC executive vice president and
general manager, Global Infrastructure Services. "Together, CSC and
Racemi will advance the automated, highly secure migration of client
infrastructures and application workloads to virtually any cloud,
contributing to their success and growth."
"Migrating to the cloud is now easier than ever,
and CIOs no longer have to rebuild every application in the cloud nor
face long timelines that are full of risk," said Lawrence Guillory, CEO,
Racemi. "The largest enterprises around the world are migrating entire
data centers to the cloud, and they are doing so with software and
services from Racemi that automate the entire process.
"With Racemi and CSC teaming up, we are providing
an agile platform that provides the necessary scale required to allow
any enterprise to take advantage of cloud. The benefits are clear:
leveraging the experience, global reach, and cloud automation from
Racemi and CSC will accelerate the value for everyone involved."
