Rackspace launches managed multitenant cloud on VCF 9.1
Managed multitenant cloud infrastructure is giving enterprises another way to modernize VMware environments without buying and operating additional hardware. Rackspace Technology Inc. has launched Rackspace Cloud, a fully managed platform built on VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1.
The service supplies elastic capacity for virtual machines, Kubernetes and graphics processing unit workloads within one governed environment. The company is among the first providers to offer a fully managed multitenant cloud on VCF 9.1 and one of a limited group of Broadcom Advantage Partners able to deliver VCF-based managed cloud services, according to Rackspace.
“The same platform that has been running [customers’] traditional VMs can now also run Kubernetes for them and can also run GPUs to help with their AI workloads,” said Josh Prewitt (pictured), senior vice president of private cloud at Rackspace. “And we do it all in a multitenant environment.”
Prewitt spoke with theCUBE Research’s Christophe Bertrand and co-host Alison Kosik at VMware Explore, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed infrastructure procurement, operational complexity and governance as enterprises move artificial intelligence projects into production. (* Disclosure below.)
