2024年3月20日 - 12:05AM
Rackspace Technology® (NASDAQ:
RXT), a leading end-to-end hybrid, multicloud, and AI
technology solutions company, introduced today Rackspace SPOT, the
world’s only open market auction for cloud servers. Rackspace SPOT
offers instant online sign-up, a customer-driven bidding process
that allows users to set compute market prices, with capacity
delivered as turnkey, fully managed Kubernetes clusters.
"Rackspace SPOT offers a unique open market auction model that
provides cost-effective cloud infrastructure solutions for small to
medium enterprises, startups, digital companies, and developers,”
said Lance Weaver, Rackspace Technology Chief Product and
Technology Officer, Private Cloud Business Unit. “With
high-availability Kubernetes clusters and market-based dynamic
pricing, organizations can scale resources up or down as needed and
obtain cloud infrastructure at the best possible price. The
transparency of the auction process provides information to compare
prices and choose the most cost-effective options."
Spot was co-developed by teams at Rackspace Technology and
Platform9, the leading independent provider of SaaS-managed
Kubernetes.
“We are pleased to contribute to Spot, a major innovation in the
cloud computing market,” said Sirish Raghuram, Co-founder and Chief
Growth Officer at Platform9. “Spot features several Platform9
innovations, such as a new centrally hosted Kubernetes control
plane that lowers costs to customers. This allows users to deploy a
fully managed Kubernetes cluster from as little as $0.72 per month,
which is two orders of magnitude cheaper than comparable
alternatives.”
