On June 16, 2026, AMD and Rackspace Technology announced a definitive agreement for the phased deployment of an initial 30 MW footprint of AMD-based compute across Rackspace’s global data centers, beginning in late 2026 and running through 2028. The agreement operationalizes a Memorandum of Understanding the two companies announced on May 7, 2026.
The deployment covers AMD Instinct GPUs, including the MI355X and MI350P and future successor solutions, alongside AMD EPYC CPUs. The companies positioned the buildout as a new category of governed enterprise AI infrastructure aimed at regulated and sovereign environments, with early interest cited from healthcare providers seeking accelerated compute for clinical AI and inference at scale.
The deal is notable as a sizable enterprise AI infrastructure commitment built on AMD rather than Nvidia silicon, underscoring AMD’s push to win regulated and sovereign workloads.
