Rackspace has announced the release of Rackspace Private Cloud Software, powered by OpenStack and code-named Alamo.
OpenStack is a cloud operating system that controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, all managed through a dashboard that gives administrators control while empowering their users to provision resources through a web interface.
Through OpenStack Private Cloud, private cloud computing has been easy than ever before.
Rackspace officials said the software is based on the company's experience in deploying and operating OpenStack-based public and private clouds in a variety of environments, including in Rackspace’s own data centers as well as in external data centers. The Rackspace Private Cloud is backed by an optional support offering.
“We believe that the majority of our customers and cloud users will be running hybrid cloud environments for a long time,” Jim Curry, general manager of the private cloud business at Rackspace, said in a statement. “Today’s announcement allows businesses to utilize their existing investment in their own data center resources to run an open cloud solution for additional control and customization and also take advantage of Rackspace’s data center options.”
