Rackspace Technology announced the launch of Rackspace OpenStack Business, a new, open source, dedicated private cloud for organizations running mission-critical or regulated workloads. This fully-managed solution delivers improved performance, enhanced security, and full operational support without the burden of managing infrastructure. Built for scalability, Rackspace OpenStack Business offers a cost-effective cloud solution centered around privacy, security and control.

This launch expands Rackspace's leadership in open-source private cloud by delivering dedicated, secure OpenStack infrastructure while meeting the growing demand from enterprises seeking control without compromise or vendor lock-in. Rackspace OpenStack Business supports a broad range of use cases for organizations focused on application development and cloud modernization. It is especially well-suited for performance-sensitive applications that require guaranteed system resources, as well as regulated industries that demand single-tenant environments to meet strict compliance requirements.

The launch of Rackspace OpenStack business builds on the success of Rackspace OpenStack Flex which was introduced in 2024 as a cost-effective, flexible private cloud alternative to hyperscalers and proprietary platforms. Designed to work seamlessly together, Rackspace OpenStack Business provides 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. Built on a proven OpenStack foundation, the solution includes full API access, 24x7x365 support and proactive monitoring and management. Other key benefits include: Rapid deployment: Accelerate time to production with private cloud infrastructure available in hours instead of days, weeks or months.

Dedicated performance: Leverage predictable performance to run applications and avoid the congestion of multi-tenant resources. Cost efficiency: Achieve strong TCO with an open source platform while maintaining enterprise-level performance. Enterprise-level support: Benefit from always-on expert support along with proactive monitoring and management to help clouds run smoothly and efficiently.

Freedom from vendor lock-in: Gain flexibility, portability, and ecosystem integration with open-source and full API access.
