Rackspace Technology, a leading provider of end-to-end hybrid cloud and AI solutions, announced the launch of Rackspace OpenStack Business, a dedicated, open-source private cloud solution purpose-built for enterprises managing mission-critical or highly regulated workloads. This fully managed platform offers robust performance, enterprise-grade security, and full operational support-without the complexities of managing infrastructure in-house.
Designed for scalability and cost-efficiency, Rackspace OpenStack Business empowers organizations with enhanced control over their cloud environments while ensuring strong data protection and compliance. By combining the benefits of open-source technology with Rackspace’s managed service expertise, enterprises can modernize with confidence—free from vendor lock-in.
“Rackspace OpenStack Business is the next evolution of private cloud infrastructure,” said Lance Weaver, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Rackspace Private Cloud. “This platform is designed for customers who demand performance, security, privacy, and control.

Rackspace OpenStack Business is ideally suited for a wide array of enterprise use cases, particularly those involving performance-sensitive workloads, regulated environments, and application development initiatives. Its single-tenant architecture ensures compliance with strict industry regulations, while guaranteed system resources deliver the performance modern businesses require.
This launch follows the success of Rackspace OpenStack Flex, introduced in 2024 as a cost-effective alternative to hyperscale and proprietary cloud platforms. While OpenStack Flex offers flexible, elastic scalability for variable workloads, OpenStack Business delivers a stable, high-performance environment ideal for consistent operations—together forming a powerful hybrid cloud ecosystem.
“With this latest offering, Rackspace extends its leadership in open source private clouds by delivering a dedicated and secure open source OpenStack infrastructure that addresses the growing demand for greater control without compromise,” said Josh Villarreal, General Manager, OpenStack, Rackspace Technology. “Together, Rackspace OpenStack Flex and OpenStack Business provide a powerful foundation for building scalable hybrid cloud environments. This combination helps enterprises address key IT challenges, including cost control, data protection, robust performance, and avoiding vendor lock-in.”
