An Intellyx Brain Candy Update
A lot has changed since we last spoke with RackN in November 2019. At that time, the company focused on on-premises bare metal provisioning. Today, bare metal is still at the heart of what RackN offers, but the company’s story is now much broader.
RackN offers a hybrid infrastructure platform that enforces the ‘cattle not pets’ principle of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC).
It enables operators to declaratively specify the configurations of systems across bare metal, virtual environments, clouds, and edge installations for repeatable deployments without configuration drift.
RackN takes the same IaC approach to automation, providing operators with immutable, repeatable workflows that always yield the same result.
RackN combines an agented and agentless, API-based approach to support the widest range of infrastructures, including virtual machines and containers.
The RackN platform provides an ideal infrastructure layer to support internal developer platforms (IDPs) that platform engineering teams build for their development teams.
