HPE and Rackspace Partner to Offer OpenStack Private Cloud
What happened
Hewlett Packard Enterprise acquired Cloud Cruiser. The companies subsequently partnered with Rackspace Technology to offer OpenStack private cloud solutions on pay-per-use infrastructure. Under this model, customers pay for what they use rather than for fixed capacity.
