This solution offers improved performance, enhanced security, and operational support without infrastructure management burdens.

This launch expands Rackspace's leadership in open-source private cloud and meets demand for control without vendor lock-in.

Rackspace Technology, a leading end-to-end hybrid cloud and AI solutions company, has announced the launch of Rackspace OpenStack Business, a fully-managed, open-source, dedicated private cloud designed for mission-critical and regulated workloads. This new offering aims to provide improved performance, enhanced security, and operational support without the burden of infrastructure management.

Built for scalability, Rackspace OpenStack Business offers a cost-effective cloud solution centered around privacy, security, and control. The platform is designed to meet the growing demand from enterprises seeking control without compromise or vendor lock-in. It supports a broad range of use cases, particularly for performance-sensitive applications requiring guaranteed system resources and regulated industries needing single-tenant environments to meet strict compliance requirements [1].

The launch of Rackspace OpenStack Business builds on the success of Rackspace OpenStack Flex, introduced in 2024. OpenStack Flex provides a cost-effective, flexible private cloud alternative to hyperscalers and proprietary platforms. Rackspace OpenStack Business complements OpenStack Flex by offering a stable foundation for steady-state workloads, while OpenStack Flex enables rapid scaling during peak demand, delivering the elasticity of the public cloud without sacrificing the benefits of a secure, dedicated private environment [1].

Key benefits of Rackspace OpenStack Business include rapid deployment, dedicated performance, cost efficiency, enterprise-level support, and freedom from vendor lock-in. The solution is built on a proven OpenStack foundation and includes full API access, 24x7x365 support, and proactive monitoring and management [1].

The announcement of Rackspace OpenStack Business further solidifies Rackspace Technology's leadership in the open-source private cloud market. The company's ability to deliver open-source dedicated and secure OpenStack infrastructure addresses key IT challenges, including cost control, data privacy, performance consistency, and avoiding vendor lock-in [2].
