Database Modernization
Assessment on Azure

Accelerate your journey to becoming a data-driven
organization on Azure, while reducing costs and risks.
Business leaders often challenge their IT organizations to accelerate innovation — while reducing costs and increasing performance.
Migrating to Microsoft® Azure® is a proven way to achieve these goals. Organizations gain many benefits, including cost efficiency,
seamless scaling, and a lower risk of downtime or disruption.
But internal IT teams often lack qualified engineers who can architect and design a cloud database environment that meetsthe objectives. Also, data modernization projects often stall because of hidden costs, data security and compliance challenges,
unforeseen incidents or additional requirements that weren’t included in the original scope. The Rackspace Technology Database
Modernization Assessment on Azure can help overcome the challenges so you can achieve your cloud goals.
