running it.
Advantages of a Rackspace Private Cloud Object Storage (Swift) Solution:
Scalability and Support – Provides a highly available, dedicated environment designed to scale to petabytes of storage. Our OpenStack experts manage your environment, providing operational support and
helping to ensure that the environment quickly adapts to your business’s growing storage demands.
Enterprise-Grade Architecture – Includes an industry-leading 99.99% OpenStack API uptime guarantee
and delivers high availability using a professional-grade control plane that includes a clustered database and
messaging service. It uses Linux containers for service deployment giving you the flexibility to distribute and
independently scale services based on specific workload needs (e.g. deploy compute resources close to the
object storage) and perform in-place upgrades from one release to the next.
Security and Control of Data – Provides a dedicated environment in your data center or ours, which
includes redundant physical firewalls and allows you to maintain control of your data. It also enables
you to use your existing OpenLDAP service to authenticate users helping to ensure only those who are
authorized can access your environment.
