Palantir Services

Palantir in production, on your data, under your control.

Rackspace designs, builds and operates Palantir Foundry and AIP deployments for regulated enterprises. Start with a five-day proof of value on your own data, then work with Palantir-certified engineers to move the use case into production and operate it over time.

Talk to an advisorExplore Enterprise AI Cloud

Most AI projects stall on the data underneath them.

Gartner finds only 41% of generative AI prototypes reach production, and BCG reports 74% of companies have yet to show tangible value from AI. The common cause is a foundation problem: enterprise data spread across hundreds of systems with no shared context for people or AI to act on. Palantir’s Ontology addresses that at the source, and the platform needs embedded expertise to deliver on it.

The platform

A shared world for people and AI

Palantir turns fragmented enterprise data into operational objects such as customer, order, asset and risk, so applications, analytics and agents work with business concepts rather than database tables, and actions write back to the systems of record.

Foundry

The enterprise data platform. 200+ connectors, low-code and pro-code pipelines, lineage and governance, with data moving from integration to action. 

The Ontology

A semantic layer and digital twin of the enterprise that maps raw data to real-world concepts and relationships, with bidirectional write-back to source systems. 

AIP

Generative and agentic AI connected to operations: your choice of models running on private data, tool-driven agents, human-in-the-loop workflows and full audit controls. 

Rackspace & Palantir

From first use case to steady state, one accountable team

Rackspace supports the full Palantir lifecycle. Each stage hands into the next, and the value compounds as more of the business connects to the Ontology.

Prove

Proof of value on your data

Rackspace Forward Deployed Engineers work on site with your team to scope a high-impact use case and build it on your own data, so the decision to proceed is based on a working result rather than a slide. 

Implement

Use case into production

Palantir-certified FDEs integrate with source systems, build the workflow and deliver the agreed business outcome, in an engagement scoped to the complexity of the use case. 

Operate

Keep it running well

Ongoing monitoring, optimization and support for what is deployed, so performance holds as data volumes grow and requirements change. 

Expand

The next use case

Every use case extends the Ontology, so the next one starts further ahead. Rackspace stays in place to deliver the backlog as it forms. 

Why Rackspace

Why Palantir deployments run better with Rackspace

Engineers who build and stay

Palantir-certified Forward Deployed Engineers embed with your team from the first workshop through production and operation, with responsibilities spelled out. 

The infrastructure underneath

Rackspace operates the governed private cloud, public cloud and hybrid environments Palantir runs on, so platform, data and infrastructure decisions are made by one team. 

Data that is ready

Rackspace Data Engineering and Security teams prepare source systems, pipelines and controls, which is where most Palantir timelines are won or lost. 

Control throughout

Private environment deployment, your data never used for external model training, defense-grade platform security and audit trails that satisfy regulators. 

Enterprise AI

Palantir is one platform in a governed stack

Rackspace is the governed operator of enterprise AI. We design, build, and operate AI environments that keep customers in control. Palantir is the data and AI platform layer; these connect to it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Rackspace Technology is a certified Palantir delivery partner. Palantir-certified Rackspace Forward Deployed Engineers scope, implement and operate Palantir Foundry and AIP use cases for enterprise customers on infrastructure Rackspace operates. 

A five-day, on-site engagement in which Rackspace Forward Deployed Engineers work with the customer’s team to scope, build and deploy a production-ready proof of value on Palantir Foundry and AIP using the customer’s own data. Deliverables include the working use case, a security and data governance assessment, a prioritized use case roadmap with ROI projections and the technical architecture. Duration can extend with complexity or environment access. 

Two components: Palantir platform licensing, which is usage-based, and the Rackspace Forward Deployed Engineering engagement, which is scoped and priced to the complexity of the use case validated during AgentCamp. 

Foundry is the enterprise data platform that connects systems and organizes data through the Ontology. AIP (Artificial Intelligence Platform) connects generative and agentic AI to those operations, with governed access to a choice of models, agent tooling, human-in-the-loop controls and audit. 

In a private environment under the customer’s control, on Rackspace Private Cloud, public cloud or a hybrid of both, with Rackspace operating the infrastructure. Customer data is never used for external model training. 

Rackspace provides ongoing monitoring, optimization and support, and because each use case extends the Ontology, the next one starts from an expanded foundation. Most organizations move directly into a backlog of additional use cases.
