Rackspace® Cloud: Private Edition

The Power of OpenStack® in any Data Center


Rackspace® Cloud: Private Edition combines tested, OpenStack-powered reference architecture with cloud operations and software support from Rackspace. With Rackspace Certified Deployment Partners and remote management tools, Rackspace Cloud: Private Edition offers multiple deployment options Rackspace data center, on-premise at customer data center, or Equinix.

Rackspace® Cloud: Private Edition is not just a virtualized server, it uses the power of OpenStack® to provision and manage large networks of virtual machines, creating a redundant and scalable cloud computing platform.

Rackspace® Cloud: Private Edition gives you the software, control panels, and APIs required to orchestrate a cloud, including running instances, managing networks, and controlling access through users and projects.

Key benefits include:
  • Compatibility with public OpenStack clouds makes it easy to migrate data and applications to public clouds when conditions are right–based on your security policies, economics, and other key business criteria
  • Free open-source software means no licensing fees and reduced cost of ownership
  • Control panels that make it easy for IT to set quotas, monitor and manage usage
  • Self-service portal for employees reduces procurement and hardware setup times
  • Modular design and broad hypervisor support leverages existing infrastructure and allows for third-party integration
  • iOS and Android application support allows mobile management
  • API access for developers
