Managed Private Clouds

Ready for Enterprise Applications and Workloads

A Private Cloud can be a key component of any Enterprise IT strategy. The power of a Private Cloud lies in its ability to combine the rapid scalability and self-service functionality of a Public Cloud, with the power and reliability of dedicated resources. The end result is that organizations are better able to adapt to dynamic web-facing workloads, optimize costs and heighten business agility.

Rackspace understands that organizations have different needs and requirements, especially when it comes to critical IT infrastructure. In support of this, Rackspace offers a portfolio of Private Cloud solutions, each backed by the exceptional service branded as Fanatical Support^®.

Why OpenStack?

Control. Open source platform means you’re never locked to a proprietary vendor. You always have visibility into and the ability to directly influence the roadmap through the open design process.
Flexibility. Modular design can integrate with legacy systems and third-party technologies, so you don't have to rip-and-replace your existing infrastructure. Global ecosystem of technology vendors supply integration support for a wide variety of features within the cloud.
Open Industry Standard. More than 130 leading technology companies across the globe are developing on and building tools for OpenStack, including Cisco, Citrix, Dell, Intel and Microsoft, and new OpenStack clouds are coming online daily
Tested and Scalable. OpenStack was built for scale and redundancy. You can run the same software that today powers some of the world's largest public and private clouds.
Compatible and Connected. Compatibility with public OpenStack clouds means enterprises are prepared for the future—making it easy to migrate data and applications to public clouds when conditions are right—based on their security policies, economics, and other key business criteria.
