Rackspace Cloud
Rackspace Cloud Overview
Rackspace Cloud delivers an enterprise-grade private cloud built on Rackspace’s OpenStack distribution, Genestack. It supports a broad range of workloads, including traditional VMs, databases, and modern cloud-native and containerized applications, providing a flexible foundation for hybrid and multi-cloud strategies without vendor lock-in.
Environments are provisioned in minutes through automation and API-driven operations, accelerating time to service and enabling faster application delivery. OpenStack’s open architecture allows organizations to standardize infrastructure across private, edge, and public cloud environments while maintaining portability and long-term architectural freedom.
Rackspace fully manages the platform end to end, from design and security to ongoing operations and lifecycle management. Backed by deep OpenStack expertise, Genestack delivers the reliability and performance enterprises require, while preserving the flexibility to integrate with existing tools, DevOps workflows, and evolving cloud ecosystems.
