Rackspace Hosting, Inc. Analyst Notes
On June 19, 2014, Rackspace Hosting, Inc. (Rackspace) launched OnMetal Cloud Servers, an API-driven, single-tenant Infrastructure-as-a-Service offering. OnMetal Cloud Servers were designed for customers with rapidly growing infrastructure footprints who seek the agility and elasticity of cloud with the simplicity and performance of colocation. "Virtualization and sharing a physical machine are fantastic tools for specific workloads at certain scale; however, we've learned that the one-size-fits-all approach to multi-tenancy just doesn't work once you become successful, so we created OnMetal to simplify scaling for customers to stay fast and lean with a laser-sharp focus on building out their product," said Taylor Rhodes, President of Rackspace. The Company expects OnMetal Cloud Servers to enter general availability in the Rackspace Northern Virginia data center in July 2014, and will be available internationally in 2015.
