Rackspace Teams with Palantir on AI Framework, Achieves 94% Quote Cycle Cut
RXT•Rackspace Technology launched an AI operating framework with Palantir combining Foundry and AIP with its governed private and on-prem clouds plus certified engineers for regulated industries. The partnership has certified about 400 staff and delivered a 94% quote-cycle reduction in under two months at a solar manufacturer.
1. Partnership Overview
Rackspace Technology and Palantir have executed a definitive operating framework that integrates Palantir Foundry and AIP with Rackspace’s governed private, sovereign and on-prem infrastructures, certified forward deployed engineers and managed operations. The model targets regulated sectors such as healthcare, financial services, energy and sovereign organizations requiring strict data control, governance and security.
2. Pilot Deployment Results
Since the framework was announced in February 2026, Rackspace has scaled to roughly 400 Palantir certifications across sales, engineering and operations. The first joint engagement at a U.S.-based solar tracking manufacturer delivered a 94% reduction in quote cycle time in under two months.
3. Expansion Plans
Under the shared model, Rackspace will deploy Foundry and AIP across more than 70% of its own back-office under Rackspace OneOS, ensuring it runs its business on the same governed stack. The partners plan to co‐sell in target verticals and stand up large-scale private cloud and sovereign deployments to drive broader adoption.
