Rackspace’s "30MW" AMD deal: The devil's in the details

"This is a go-to-market partnership, not a supplier arrangement". Oh.

Rackspace’s "30MW" AMD deal: The devil's in the details

Rackspace has finalised a commercial framework deal with AMD that may see it install up to 30MW-equivalent of AMD GPUs and CPUs by 2028. 

That's the press release top-line, anyway.

The agreement, Rackspace said, firms up a Memorandum of Understanding the two announced on May 7 – and spans potential installation of MI355X, MI350P GPUs and EPYC CPUs in its data centres.

Rackspace said the deal will let it offer a deeper “complete, governed stack from bare metal compute through fully operated inference.”

On an investor call, Rackspace flubbed the details.

It also shared some pointed disclaimers.
