Dedicated Virtual Servers

Dedicated virtual servers from Rackspace are the foundation of our managed private cloud solutions. Providing you with the ultimate balance between a dedicated solution with burstable, more flexible hosting.

Built on dedicated, branded servers, running VMware, our solution is a secure and reliable approach to the cloud for those that want the flexibility of cloud, but need more security and support.

Private Cloud: Virtualised by VMware is designed to provide you with important benefits of budget optimisation plus rapid scaling up or down, together with the higher security and improved reliability of a Rackspace Managed Hosting Solution.

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 Private Cloud: Virtualised by VMware from Rackspace?

You don't have to invest in, or build and manage your own Enterprise class hosting solution 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.
