Technology

The Rackspace Cloud provides on-demand scalable website, application and storage hosting backed by Fanatical Support®. Through its suite of cloud solutions, Cloud Servers™, Cloud Load Balancers, Cloud Files™, and Cloud Sites™, The Rackspace Cloud enables developers and IT managers to minimize the hassles, upfront investments and high costs associated with dedicated hardware, while offering the ability to easily scale hosting resources.

Computing Infrastructure
Linux or Windows servers in minutes. With the Rackspace Cloud, you can deploy one to hundreds of Cloud Servers easily, for as long (or little) as you need them. Cloud Servers provide a virtual instance of a physical machine with predetermined combinations of RAM, HDD and CPU allocations. Rackspace Cloud Servers offer access to a shared pool of elastic compute resources and the utility-based pricing allows you to only pay for what you use.

Load Balancing and High Availability
Rackspace Cloud Load Balancers allow you to automatically deploy and scale an on-demand load balancing solution in minutes. Rackspace Cloud Load Balancers distribute workloads across multiple servers, network links, and other resources to maximize throughput, minimize response time and avoid overload.

File Storage and Content Delivery
Cloud Files provide you and your applications online storage for media-items like backups, video files, or user content. You can deliver that content to your users at blazing speeds over the market-leading global CDN platform, powered by Akamai Technologies, Inc.
