Rackspace just launched a new private cloud service - and it's open source
Briefly

Rackspace has launched OpenStack Business, a new open source private cloud service designed to support organizations with regulated workloads. This service aims to provide a cost-effective solution focusing on privacy, security, and control, while addressing vendor lock-in concerns. The platform caters to performance-sensitive applications and enterprises facing strict compliance requirements. Rackspace intends to reduce overall costs by utilizing an open source approach alongside enterprise-level performance. The service is a complement to Rackspace OpenStack Flex, together ensuring a stable and scalable cloud environment.
Rackspace OpenStack Business will offer enterprises a "cost-effective cloud solution centered around privacy, security and control" and expands on its existing private cloud offerings.
The new service will support a "broad range of use cases" but is designed specifically for performance-sensitive applications, as well as enterprises operating in regulated industries.
This platform is built for customers requiring performance, security, privacy and control. Delivered as a fully-managed open source platform, it provides businesses the freedom to modernize on their terms.
Rackspace OpenStack Business will provide a "stable foundation" for steady-state workloads, while the Flex service will offer scaling capabilities based on demand.
