FAQ
Common questions about Dedicated Private Cloud
What is Dedicated Private Cloud?
Dedicated Private Cloud is a single-tenant cloud environment with compute, storage and networking resources physically dedicated to one organization. It provides the isolation, predictable performance and control required for critical business applications and regulated workloads, without the complexity of managing the infrastructure yourself.
What is Rackspace Dedicated Private Cloud?
Rackspace Dedicated Private Cloud is single-tenant infrastructure built on VMware Cloud Foundation and physically isolated for your organization. Licensing is included, and Rackspace operates the environment 24x7x365 with standardized, governed configurations designed for security and compliance requirements.
How is Dedicated Private Cloud different from multi-tenant private cloud?
Dedicated Private Cloud provides physically isolated compute, storage and networking for one organization, supporting workloads with strict isolation, performance or licensing requirements. Multi-tenant private cloud runs on shared infrastructure with isolated environments and elastic capacity. Both run on VMware Cloud Foundation and are operated by Rackspace.
Which compliance standards does Rackspace Dedicated Private Cloud support?
Rackspace data centers and operations support PCI DSS, HIPAA, SSAE 18, ISO 27001, ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 requirements, with FedRAMP and UK Sovereign options available through Rackspace Sovereign Private Cloud.
Can Dedicated Private Cloud connect to public cloud?
Yes. Rackspace connects Dedicated Private Cloud to Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud through its private network, allowing dedicated infrastructure and public cloud to operate as part of a hybrid environment managed by Rackspace.
Can we run AI workloads on Dedicated Private Cloud?
Yes. Inference and agents can run on dedicated infrastructure within the same governed environment as the data and applications they use. GPU and AI-optimized compute are also available through Rackspace Bare Metal Private Cloud and Enterprise AI Cloud.
Where does Rackspace operate Dedicated Private Cloud?
Rackspace operates data centers across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, connected by a private network. Dedicated environments can be placed according to workload latency, data residency and business continuity requirements.
