Rackspace Technology launches Rackspace UK Sovereign Services for UK public sector
Rackspace Technology , a leading end-to-end hybrid , multicloud and AI technology solutions company , has announced the launch of Rackspace UK Sovereign Services as part of its next generation product set .
The offering provides end-to-end , digitally sovereign cloud services for the UK public sector and other regulated industries .
Sovereign cloud services keep data , support and infrastructure within the borders of a national state . This is normally a requirement for government agencies , healthcare providers , law enforcement organisations and other regulated industries in the private sector such as pharma and financial services .
Providing a solution to these sectors assures regulatory compliance and allows a reduction in an organisation ’ s security risk , especially important considering the increase in global cyberthreats .
Rackspace UK Sovereign Services prioritises customer data security aligned with the recommendations of the UK National Cyber Security Centre and NHS England among other UK regulatory bodies .
Rackspace UK Sovereign Services provides a platform that has dedicated compute and storage ‘ Pods ’ for each customer sector , each Pod is isolated from any other with full segregation of compute and storage services between customers . This approach ensures a cost-effective hosting solution for customers , while providing the high levels of data security they require .
The platform is designed for secure workloads accredited for UK Official ( to a handling guidance of Official-Sensitive ) or NHS England Class V risk data .
Through Rackspace Technology ’ s extensive partnership with BT , it also provides secure , and fully sovereign , communication services into its secure data centres , adding further value to the service to customers .
“ Digital independence and sovereignty within the UK have become key requirements of public sector and many other regulated industries with only a small number of providers to choose from . This truly digital Sovereign offering allows for the UK public sector to achieve cost savings and compliance all through a single provider , without compromising on security or performance ,” said Rick Martire , General Manager for Sovereign Services , UK at Rackspace Technology . p
