About Rackspace Technology, Inc.
About Rackspace Technology, Inc.
Rackspace Technology served more than 75,000 customers across 120 countries as of December 31, 2025, operating through two segments, Public Cloud and Private Cloud, with a workforce of roughly 5,000 Rackers supported by a sales team of over 350 quota-bearing representatives. The company posted a net loss of $225.8 million in 2025, narrower than its $858.2 million loss in 2024 and $837.8 million loss in 2023, as it continues investing heavily in AI infrastructure and services under its Rackspace AI portfolio.
Rackspace's Private Cloud segment sells programmatic infrastructure, cloud operating systems built on VMware by Broadcom or OpenStack, platform-as-a-service offerings, and industry-specific solutions such as SAP, Oracle, and Epic healthcare workloads, delivered from company-owned data centers or colocation facilities under long-term contracts typically running 12 to 36 months. Public Cloud instead bundles managed services and professional services on top of third-party AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud infrastructure under a consumption-based model that customers can cancel at any time without penalty, requiring little capital investment from Rackspace itself since the hyperscalers own the underlying infrastructure. Both segments depend on close partnerships with major technology vendors - AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, VMware by Broadcom, Dell Technologies, and Palantir Technologies - for co-selling, technical certification, and access to new platform capabilities as they launch.
Show full overview
Rackspace's own risk factors flag that its agreements with AWS, Microsoft, Google, and VMware by Broadcom can generally be modified or terminated at will or with limited notice by the counterparty, meaning the company's ability to resell cloud infrastructure and licenses hinges on partner relationships it does not control. That dependency runs both ways: some of these hyperscaler partners can also compete directly with Rackspace's managed-services offerings, and any decision by one to sell direct to Rackspace's existing customers, or to end preferred-partner program participation, would directly reduce the incentives and referral revenue Rackspace currently earns from the relationship.
