AMD and Rackspace Technology have signed an agreement to deploy 30 megawatts of AMD-based AI computing capacity across Rackspace’s global data centres in phases from late 2026 through 2028.
The deal formalises a partnership first announced in May 2026 that names AMD as a core silicon supplier within Rackspace’s managed AI infrastructure platform.
The setup will use AMD Instinct GPUs and EPYC CPUs integrated into a system designed for regulated sectors such as healthcare, where demand for secure, scalable AI and inference capabilities is growing.
The service offers end-to-end management, with Rackspace taking responsibility for performance and operations in a model targeted at organisations needing governance and data sovereignty.
Both firms will jointly market the solution, focusing on regulated industries, and will deliver four core services: enterprise AI cloud, enterprise inference engine, inference as a service, and bare metal AMD Instinct.
“This collaboration combines the right compute with the right operating model and delivers something the market hasn’t offered before: a governed AI stack with one accountable partner from silicon to outcomes,” said Gajen Kandiah, CEO of Rackspace Technology.
“By bringing together leadership AMD AI compute solutions and Rackspace’s governed cloud operating model, we are helping regulated enterprises deploy high-performance AI infrastructure with the openness, scalability and accountability needed to run AI at enterprise scale,” said Dan McNamara, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Compute and Enterprise AI at AMD.
