Over the past year, Rackspace has solidified its role as a leader and innovator in open source cloud technologies by introducing a comprehensive product roadmap for OpenStack and frequent feature updates. The updates include a significant increase in upstream code contributions to the OpenStack community and are consistent with Rackspace’s One OpenStack strategy, which focuses on using a single technology stream across its OpenStack products. The alignment of the strategy ensures that customers can use each solution seamlessly, with no technology barrier between each product.
Rackspace‘s OpenStack investments date back to the platform’s original development in collaboration with NASA in 2010. To date, Rackspace has contributed more than 5.6 million lines of code to OpenStack and is one of the largest OpenStack cloud providers in the world. The company has more than a billion server hours of experience running production-ready OpenStack clouds at scale and a dedicated team of more than 150 OpenStack experts and over 50 Kubernetes administrators.
OpenStack aims to meet a wide range of customer needs, including security and compliance for sensitive data that requires the highest level of protection and control, with options for data localization and sovereignty. It also addresses the issue of cost efficiency, providing a path to lowering the overall cost of cloud infrastructure. In addition, OpenStack services enable seamless modernization of applications and data centers, allowing customers to migrate applications to the cloud without extensive changes and move to fully managed solutions.
