The power of cloud, the control and security of dedicated, the expertise of Rackspace

Private clouds offer the power, efficiency, and features of a public cloud, with the security, control, and performance of a dedicated environment. But private clouds are complex to operate. They don't manage themselves. They require experts who understand cloud architecture and know how to upgrade, patch, secure, monitor, and scale a cloud environment.

Experts like that don't come cheap and are becoming harder and harder to find.

With a Managed Private Cloud from Rackspace, we take care of the infrastructure and management, giving you the cloud expertise you need and letting you focus on your core business. And we can manage your private cloud for you with Fanatical Support® in our data center or, for an OpenStack® cloud, in ours or yours.
