Rackspace Technology a global enterprise AI infrastructure and solutions provider, today announced it has joined the NVIDIA Cloud Partner Program NCP. Program deepens Rackspace ability to deliver and operate NVIDIA accelerated computing for regulated and sovereign enterprises. Relationship advances Rackspace AI Cloud strategy, giving organizations infrastructure and operational model to maintain control of data, models and intelligence while putting AI into production. Announcement was made from San Antonio on September 10, 2026.
Rackspace is putting model into practice through its Institutional Sovereign Pod, a governed AI infrastructure architecture designed to give enterprises control over their data, models and AI environments while supporting performance required for production workloads. Pod will bring together NVIDIA Blackwell architecture with Palantir Foundry and AIP in environment Rackspace operates. Enterprises can use pod to deploy AI at scale while maintaining sovereignty, security and operational control, including Sovereign AI supply chain solution announced today by NVIDIA and Palantir. Rackspace provides forward deployed engineering and managed operations for environment, helping customers move from deployment to production faster and reach value sooner.
"Enterprise AI is becoming production infrastructure. At that point, question is no longer simply who provides GPU. It is who is accountable for operating complete system," said Gajen Kandiah, Chief Executive Officer, Rackspace Technology. "AI sovereignty is ultimately about control: control of your data, your models and intelligence your organization creates. NVIDIA provides accelerated computing foundation, and Rackspace brings infrastructure, engineering and operations required to run it in production."
"For AI to create value in enterprise, organizations need more than access to compute. They need to connect their data, models and operations in environment they can control," said Sameer Kirtane, Head of US Commercial at Palantir. "AI is moving from experimentation to production, and enterprises and nations need full-stack AI factories that can operate continuously, securely and at scale," said Raj Mirpuri, vice president of global AI clouds and infrastructure ecosystem at NVIDIA.
As NVIDIA Cloud Partner, Rackspace will support NVIDIA technologies across all layers of enterprise AI stack, with NCP competencies in Compute, Networking, Visualization and NVIDIA Enterprise Software. Capabilities strengthen Rackspace ability to integrate NVIDIA infrastructure and software with governed private and hybrid cloud and managed operations, providing customers with one accountable operator for production environment.
Together, capabilities will help customers maintain control of data, models and intelligence, operate AI as complete system, accelerate AI into production combining NVIDIA accelerated computing with Rackspace forward-deployed engineering, and support sovereign and regulated environments deploying AI across private and hybrid environments based on requirements for data residency, governance, security and compliance.
