Overview
High-performance MySQL databases, with built-in redundancy and automated configuration
Blazing fast performance
Rackspace Cloud Databases delivers incredibly quick MySQL performance. Using container-based virtualisation instead of traditional hardware virtualisation technology results in speedier applications that get quick access to your data.
Data redundancy built in
We run MySQL connected to SAN storage, with built-in data replication. For you that means greater reliability, and less downtime for your application.
Automated configuration
Rackspace Cloud Databases automates the deployment, configuration, and patching of the database server. Why? To reduce your operational costs, and let your team focus on more business-critical tasks.
Based on open standards
Rackspace Cloud Databases is the first relational database service built on the OpenStack® Nova Compute codebase - reliable, safe hosting without locking your data into one proprietary platform.
