AMD and Rackspace signed a definitive agreement to deploy 30 megawatts of AMD AI Compute across the cloud provider's global data centers. The phased rollout will run from late 2026 through 2028, targeting enterprise workloads in regulated industries.
Phased deployment of AMD Instinct GPUs and EPYC CPUs targets enterprise workloads in regulated industries from late 2026 through 2028.
The infrastructure relies on an integrated Enterprise AI Cloud architecture that combines AMD Instinct GPUs with EPYC CPUs. Rackspace CEO Gajen Kandiah stated the company needs governed AI infrastructure backed by a single accountable partner from silicon to outcomes.
AMD highlighted the mix of accelerated and general-purpose compute for enterprise workloads, according to SVP Dan McNamara. The partnership incorporates specific AMD Instinct GPU models including the MI355X and MI350P alongside EPYC processors.
Rackspace will handle the deployment and management of this infrastructure at its global facilities. The deal positions AMD hardware as the foundation for Rackspace's enterprise AI cloud services moving forward.
