Rackspace has signed an agreement with AMD to deploy 30MW of AI infrastructure across its data centers, targeting customers in regulated sectors such as healthcare. The rollout will begin later this year and continue through 2028, with the capacity intended to support AI training and inference workloads at scale. The deployment will include AMD Instinct GPUs, such as the MI355X and MI350P, as well as future AMD accelerators, alongside AMD Epyc CPUs within Rackspace’s enterprise AI cloud platform.
Gajen Kandiah, CEO of Rackspace, said: “Enterprises in regulated industries need AI infrastructure that is governed from the ground up, with one operator accountable for business outcomes, not a collection of vendors each owning a piece. "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."
“As enterprise AI evolves, customers need infrastructure that can deliver the right mix of accelerated and general-purpose compute for each workload,” said Dan McNamara, senior vice president and general manager for compute and enterprise AI at AMD.
“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.”
