Companies in Asia-Pacific are rapidly adopting hybrid cloud to increase application response and scalability, as well as expand the range of workloads running in the cloud, says Rackspace.
According to Gartner, nearly half of large enterprises will have hybrid cloud deployments by the end of 2017.
Rackspace Hosting announced that its redesigned public cloud with Performance Cloud Servers will be available in India. This new offering creates a hosting platform for a variety of workloads, ranging from web hosting, eCommerce applications to larger scale NoSQL data stores like MongoDB and Cassandra. The offering will be available to customers throughout the Asia-Pacific region including Hong Kong, India, Singapore and Greater China.
The Cloud Servers are designed with 100 percent data center-grade, RAID 10-protected solid-state disks (SSDs), Intel Xeon E5 processors, up to 120 Gigabytes of RAM, and 40 Gigabits per second of highly available network throughput to the host.
With OpenStack powered Rackspace Performance Cloud Servers, customers can connect the new cloud servers to dedicated bare metal servers as part of the Rackspace Hybrid Cloud, which can provide good level of application performance.
