Managed Private Cloud

For those that want the cloud, but need more security and support

Built on dedicated, branded servers running VMware, our managed private clouds (also know as Virtualisation) are a more secure and reliable approach to the public cloud.

Managed private cloud is designed to provide you with the best of both cloud and managed hosting. So the most important benefits of the cloud-resource and budget optimisation with rapid scaling up or down, together with the higher security and improved reliability of a Rackspace Managed Hosting Solution.

How private cloud works?

Traditional cloud computing is open to many companies to use, as such it is less customisable as well as less secure. Private cloud computing or dedicated virtual servers is a closed internal network behind your own dedicated firewall and therefore obviously means security is much tighter, simply due to its exclusive nature. All the resources can be managed from a single point and assigned to applications or services within your own private cloud as needed. It is more cost effective than traditional dedicated managed hosting environment in that you only pay for your virtual instances when they are turned on.

Why a private cloud from Rackspace?

Managed Private cloud from Rackspace means you don't have to invest in or build and manage your own Enterprise class private cloud to make it happen. Rackspace can make it happen for you, from the data centre, to the network and VMs. All the nonstop work, purchasing the components and licenses, configuring your private cloud, patching operating systems, and troubleshooting issues whenever they pop up is taken care of by Rackspace.

All you need to do is decide on one of the three recommended Rackspace configurations. Alternatively we can design a 'built to fit' solution on your specific needs.
