Rackspace helps BMG rock with Google cloud

BMG, the music giant behind stars like Kylie Minogue, Iron Maiden, and Dua Lipa, has partnered with Rackspace Technology to revolutionise the music industry with Google Cloud.

The world’s fourth-biggest music company has moved 95 per cent of its apps and services to Google Cloud, using  Rackspace Technology’s Elastic Engineering team.

This means BMG can pay its artists and songwriters ten times faster and track their music 50 per cent faster than before, using Google Cloud’s cutting-edge AI and big data tools.

BMG has ditched its old distribution partners and struck direct deals with streaming giants like Spotify and Apple, giving its clients more control and access to their data.

Rackspace faces the music

Rackspace is helping BMG, the fourth biggest global music company in the world, with its migration to Google Cloud.

With music consumption reaching new highs via streaming platforms and record amounts of data being processed, BMG was looking for a cloud solution that solved its scaling challenges and could power its data-heavy business.

With increasing data volumes, BMG anticipates cost optimisation will become a big initiative. Cloud tooling and provisioning from Rackspace Technology will enable BMG to keep its business economical while providing its services to artists and songwriters.
