Benefit from VMware Technology Without Having to Manage It
A Virtualized Application Hosting Platform on Dedicated Hardware, Powered by VMware
Does your business depend on applications that require a single-tenant environment in order to meet their technical, security and performance requirements? Are you also looking to benefit from a cloud-like infrastructure deployment model?
With Rackspace Server Virtualization, you can have the agility and cost savings of VMware® virtualization, in a dedicated environment, while our specialists manage vSphere® and the underlying physical infrastructure for you.
Use Cases
Ecommerce Security
If your company processes sensitive customer data, you know how critical it is to protect it. Our dedicated, single-tenant environment is ideal for hosting such vital information — providing the stability, predictability and control you require.
Packaged Applications
Not all applications are designed to take advantage of the cloud. And often the costs involved in making them work the way you want them to just isn’t worth the effort. We offer a reliable, agile platform for hosting packaged applications from third-party vendors, regardless of their cloud-readiness.
Disaster Recovery
Maintaining business continuity in the event of a disaster is a priority for most businesses, and also a challenge. With Rackspace Server Virtualization, you can replicate systems using software rather than hardware to create a more cost-effective Disaster Recovery (DR) target for your most critical applications. We can accommodate a variety of technology dependencies typically associated with DR scenarios.
