E-mail Print PDF

Rackspace launches the next release of the OpenStack-powered Rackspace Private Cloud-- one claiming an OpenStack API uptime guarantee of 99.99%, as well as increased scalability and DevOps automation services.

Rackspace cloud“Rackspace Private Cloud was designed to deliver stable API-driven OpenStack infrastructure so that our customers can focus on the development of business-critical, revenue-generating applications,” the company says. “Rackspace’s expertise in operating OpenStack clouds allows our customers to take advantage of a private cloud without investing in in-house operational expertise."

According to the company Private Cloud is scalable to hundreds of nodes, with Linux containers allowing customers to independently scale each service and perform seamless upgrades from one release to another.

OpenStack Orchestration (Heat) support allows infrastructure, services and application provisioning automation, while DevOps Automation Services automates application deployment and scaling by treating infrastructure as code.

Customers can also use RackConnect to connect private clouds with the Rackspace Public Cloud, with deployment across own data centers and 9 Rackspace locations around the world.

The new Rackspace Private Cloud release will be available in European markets from October 2014.
