These speaking engagements come on the heels of the launch of rPath Cloud Engine, new software that helps any private or hybrid cloud software stack ensure consistent, reliable, fast application delivery and update. In addition to end-to-end application management, rPath Cloud Engine plugs and plays into any cloud technology ecosystem, helping tech vendors, hosting providers, and MSPs who partner with rPath to differentiate their products to enterprise customers with bulletproof application delivery.
