Managed Hosting Vs Private Cloud: Virtualised by VMware

When deciding between Rackspace's managed hosting and Private Cloud: Virtualised by VMware computing services, clients must address what their business needs in terms of hosting performance and flexibility. At Rackspace, we can help advise on whether managed hosting or private cloud would be best suited to your organisation, taking into account the size of your operations, as well as how much you access hosted data.

Our managed hosting services

Our managed hosting services give clients the chance to tailor their hosting to suit each specific need. By choosing managed hosting services, a business will be able to select which operating systems they desire, as well as additional management services from our dedicated managed hosting support team at Rackspace.

There are many benefits of adopting Rackspace managed hosting services, as businesses do not need to keep a specialised IT staff to address routine server maintenance. In addition to this, managed hosting clients need not worry about a steep initial hardware investment, nor about hosting hardware replacements, as these are covered in our monthly billing scheme.

Private Cloud: Virtualised by VMware

Many Rackspace clients hear the term 'cloud computing' and become interested in finding out what benefits private cloud might offer their business. Virtualisation, or a private cloud, is an excellent way to maximise your computing resources by migrating to cloud computing.

With dedicated virtual servers, you only need to pay for the services you use, and only when they are running. And while users might share a physical server with other businesses, Private Cloud: Virtualised by Vmware protects users through a dedicated firewall.
