In a statement on the same day, the two firms said that they joined forces for the phased deployment of an initial 30 MW footprint dedicated to AMD-based compute across Rackspace Technology Inc.’s (NASDAQ:RXT) global data centers beginning late this year through 2028.

The deployment followed a memorandum of understanding inked last month, which establishes AMD as a strategic technology partner at the silicon layer of Rackspace’s governed AI stack.

The full deployment would support regulated enterprise workloads, including healthcare providers who have expressed early interest in accelerated compute for clinical AI and inference at scale.

Both firms expect to dedicate sales and marketing resources to identify and engage enterprise customers for AMD compute-powered infrastructure, and with each party jointly developing and pursuing customer opportunities across regulated industries.

“Enterprises in regulated industries need AI infrastructure that is governed from the ground up, with one operator accountable for business outcomes, not a collection of vendors each owning a piece,” Rackspace Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:RXT) CEO Gajen Kandiah.

“This collaboration combines the right compute with the right operating model and delivers something the market hasn’t offered before: a governed AI stack with one accountable partner from silicon to outcomes.”
