Private cloud solutions
Gain the freedom to innovate, no matter where you run your workloads
Most businesses already have a hybrid multicloud environment: They use public cloud services, but they also depend on legacy applications and data centers. If this describes your organization, you’re likely seeking ways to extend the benefits of public cloud across your entire IT estate — with the assumption that the only way to achieve that goal is to migrate your legacy applications to public cloud.
Rackspace Technology™ offers a different, better option for your business. Our VMware-based hybrid cloud solutions give you the benefits of consumption-based pricing and multi-tenancy. They also provide self-service, rapid provisioning and automation — in both public and managed private cloud domains.
You can continue operating in your familiar VMware environment, using a private cloud solution that delivers the same benefits as a public cloud, without having to undertake time-consuming and costly application modernization programs. With a private cloud solution from Rackspace Technology, you get the immediate benefits of public cloud with the luxury and flexibility of modernizing your applications when it suits you, all the while securing your most-sensitive data in your private cloud deployment.

Use Cases
Our modern private cloud solutions allow you to run and optimize workloads in the best location and on the best infrastructure, without any major rework. We make it possible both to move to the cloud without re-architecting applications, and to scale your environment to other types of cloud deployments.

We ensure that you maintain and run legacy and mission-critical applications where it makes most sense:
- Save the cost of a prohibitively expensive migration
- Continue using in-house developed applications in your private cloud hosting until you're ready to retire them
- Avoid the expense of high-volume data management in the public cloud
- Keep applications and computing resources that run critical core processes or support third-parties on-site

Extend your on-premises footprint with secure cloud capacity, and without adding hardware. Develop cloud-native apps within an environment similar to your on-premises environment with managed private cloud services.

Consolidate data centers or move off-premises for greater cost efficiency, improved lifecycle management and ease of operations — all while retaining your familiar technology stack.
- Progressively migrate specific applications to a secure cloud environment at your own pace
- Gain cost benefits and reduce IT Ops costs without expensive application modernization while maintaining secure and reliable private cloud deployments

Build resiliency and protect against data loss with disaster recovery, off-site data backup and remote worker solutions — including virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and remote data center management, all within your virtual private cloud.
- Mirror vital data to a high-security, off-site data center for enhanced business continuity planning
- Seamlessly switch over operations in the event of a disaster at a primary location

Optimize the performance of applications and workloads that require low-latency and intensive processing.
- Expand geo-specific capacity so data and processing can execute close together
- Minimize latency and network costs while maximizing performance
- Dedicate resources to avoid application timeouts from external shared systems, to enhance your private cloud services capabilities for your business

Optimize your governance, security and compliance mandates by running each workload in its best environment. Prevent exposing your business to increased risk through forced and possibly unnecessary migrations or modernizations.

Store your data adjacent to the Cloud - not in it! Cost-effectively make your data available to whatever cloud services you want. Destroy public cloud egress fees and avoid cloud lock-in.
+Rackspace Data Freedom + is available globally in all Rackspace Technology data centers and colocation facilities and connects to most cloud environments including all VMware Cloud environments, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and more.
