Managed Storage

You Tell Us Your Needs. We Provide the Expertise & the Right Fully Managed Solution.

What you need now and what you need months or years from now can be two entirely different things. That's why we have multiple storage solutions; so you can get the right storage now and have the right alternatives down the road. No matter how you grow and evolve, we'll make sure that you always have the right solution for your budget, capacity and performance needs.

While each Rackspace storage solution differs from the next in terms of growth capacity, performance, configuration flexibility and cost, they still have a lot in common. Our industry-leading Service Level Agreements and Fanatical Support® back them all. And they are all fully managed—from deployment, to updates, to troubleshooting—by our experienced and certified storage experts.
