Rackspace currently powers more than 10,000 compute instances running Microsoft SQL Server on its private and public clouds. By combining In-Memory OLTP with Managed High Availability, Rackspace can help customers speed up OLTP workloads to up to 30x while providing maximum uptime. Rackspace DBA Services offers database administrators and database architects on demand with simple pricing and multiple tiers of Fanatical Support®. For a fraction of the cost of a full time database administrator (DBA), Rackspace offers dedicated expertise available 24x7x365 to enable rapid migration, upgrades and ongoing maintenance of In-Memory OLTP.
With a Managed Private Cloud powered by Microsoft Cloud Platform, and the built in Database-as-a-Service capability, customers can take advantage of a fully managed, physically isolated private cloud environment that allows customers to programmatically spin up SQL Server 2014 databases on demand. Customers can also strengthen their high availability and disaster recovery capabilities by choosing from an increased number of availability groups including Microsoft Azure as a designated disaster recovery location.
“Adding support for Microsoft SQL Server 2014 to Rackspace DBA Services enables customers to increase performance and make more efficient use of IT resources,” said John Engates, chief technology officer at Rackspace. “Customers will be able to leverage our DBA experts to assist with routine database management and monitoring 24x7, which will allow their internal IT teams to work regular schedules and focus on innovating their core business.”
Rackspace certified DBAs can provide the deep expertise customers need for their MySQL, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases running on dedicated hardware or Rackspace Cloud Servers. With Rackspace DBA Services, customers also have the option to take advantage of an additional layer of assistance including database architecture and design, administration, monitoring and troubleshooting.
“As a long standing and key partner for Microsoft, we are pleased to see Rackspace embrace SQL Server 2014 to provide breakthrough performance and availability to a broader number of customers through their services,” said Tiffany Wissner, senior director of data platform marketing at Microsoft. “When customers choose Rackspace DBA Services they have the assurance of the company’s deep experience running thousands of SQL Servers.”
