Rackspace OpenStack — from Cloud Pioneer to Industry Innovator

Since creating OpenStack^® with NASA in 2010, we’ve continued to innovate by pioneering the OpenStack private cloud-as-a-service delivery model and providing the industry’s first 99.99% API uptime guarantee. We manage the world’s largest OpenStack public cloud and have logged more than 1 billion server hours operating OpenStack clouds for many of the world’s largest companies. We enable you to manage containerized, virtualized and bare metal applications across public, private and hybrid clouds — using the same standard set of open APIs.

Sometimes the best fit for a site or app requires both cloud and dedicated environments. That's why we've created a true hybrid cloud — so you can connect public cloud, private cloud and dedicated hardware, to create the best fit for your specific needs.

"OpenStack provides a path to innovation for our students. However, the complexity of the technology platform requires significant expertise to run at scale. Consuming OpenStack as a managed service from Rackspace and relying on them for their operational experience has been key to our success."
