Rackspace Technology Launches Operating Framework with Palantir for Regulated Enterprises to Accelerate Enterprise AI in Production

About this update from Palantir Technologies Inc.

Palantir and Rackspace execute a definitive agreement establishing operating framework to deploy Palantir Foundry and AIP in mid-market, regulated and sovereign environments, naming Rackspace a preferred partner SAN ANTONIO and MIAMI , July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rackspace Technology ® (NASDAQ: RXT), a global enterprise AI infrastructure and solutions provider, and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) today announced an operating model framework to help regulated and sovereign enterprises own and operate AI in production. The framework, delivered through Rackspace, combines Palantir Foundry and AIP with Rackspace’s governed private cloud, sovereign cloud, on-prem infrastructure, certified FDEs, and managed operations for customers that require control over data, security, governance, deployment location, and operational outcomes. The framework is built for markets such as healthcare systems protecting patient records, financial institutions running on regulated data, energy operators with air-gapped infrastructure, and sovereign organizations that cannot move data across borders. For these customers, AI deployment is guided by a few fundamental, non-negotiable questions: Who owns the data? Where should the data live? And can their models be used to build someone else's business? For these customers, where governance, compliance, and security are non-negotiable, AI in production calls for both a platform and a governed operator. Palantir provides the AI operating layer; Rackspace provides the infrastructure, certified engineers, and managed operations to run that layer where the customer’s mission, data, and obligations live. "While most regulated enterprises have an AI strategy, they often lack the operating model to put AI into production safely and at scale. This effort by Rackspace closes that gap," said Gajen Kandiah , Chief Executive Officer of Rackspace Technology . "Rackspace brings the governed infrastructure, the Palantir -certified engineers, the managed operations, and the accountability for outcomes in the environments where our customers actually live. This is deploy and operate, not deploy and leave. This is how organizations with the most demanding requirements move AI into production at scale." “Sovereign AI requires more than access to a model. It requires an operating layer that lets enterprises govern data, enforce permissions, route models, audit actions, and deploy capability where the mission lives,” said Alex Karp , Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Palantir Technologies . “This framework brings Palantir Foundry and AIP together with Rackspace’s infrastructure and delivery capabilities for mission-critical environments.” Since the companies’ initial February 2026 announcement, the partnership has built measurable momentum. Rackspace has scaled to approximately 400 Palantir certifications across sales, engineering, delivery, and operations, including a large global cohort of Palantir -certified forward deployed engineers (FDEs) to serve demand across healthcare, financial services, energy, and mid-market. The first joint deployment closed in
