# A proposed partnership between sgit.ai and Rackspace Technology

> Rackspace is the partner who would run vaults for customers, on whichever cloud they use. Rackspace Technology operates managed services across the major clouds and offers UK sovereign clouds for government, healthcare, police and commercial customers. sgit is open source and needs very little infrastructure, which makes it a good fit for a managed-service provider: the value is in running it well, not in the licence.

# A proposed partnership between sgit.ai and Rackspace Technology

**Rackspace is the partner who would run vaults for customers, on whichever cloud they use.** Rackspace Technology operates managed services across the major clouds and offers UK sovereign clouds for government, healthcare, police and commercial customers. sgit is open source and needs very little infrastructure, which makes it a good fit for a managed-service provider: the value is in running it well, not in the licence.

**Nothing on this page is confidential, and there has been no conversation yet.** Every statement about Rackspace Technology comes from its own public pages, linked. Every statement about sgit points at the [deployment documentation](../deploy/index.md), a published vault or a page on this site. sgit is Apache-2.0, so Rackspace Technology does not need our permission to run it or to build on it. A partnership is about doing that well and together. The general argument is on [the cloud platforms page](cloud-platforms.md).

## In short

- **Rackspace is a services partner, not only a platform.** It is an [AWS Marketplace Premier Consulting Partner](https://www.rackspace.com/cloud/aws/marketplace) and runs managed services across clouds.
- **UK sovereign clouds.** [Rackspace's sovereign cloud services](https://www.rackspace.com/industry/sovereign-cloud-services) serve UK government, healthcare, police and commercial customers.
- **Object storage speaks S3.** [Rackspace Object Storage](https://www.rackspace.com/en-gb/cloud/object-storage) "supports any application that utilizes the S3 RESTful API".
- **What we would like:** Rackspace offering managed vaults to its customers.

## How vaults map onto Rackspace

| sgit needs | On Rackspace Technology | Status |
|---|---|---|
| **A managed vault service** | Rackspace managed services, on any cloud | The main opportunity. Nothing to build beyond the deployment docs. |
| **UK sovereign data** | Rackspace UK sovereign clouds | Not tested. Vaults add encryption the host cannot read. |
| **Object storage** | Rackspace Object Storage (S3 API) | Should work once the S3 endpoint is configurable. Not tested. |

## Where we are with Rackspace Technology today

We have no relationship with Rackspace. It is on this list because the most likely way a regulated UK organisation runs vaults is through a managed-service provider, and Rackspace runs managed services on every cloud on these pages as well as its own UK sovereign clouds.

## What a partnership could be

| Shape | What it would be | On their side |
|---|---|---|
| **1 · Managed vaults** | Rackspace runs vault servers for its customers, on their cloud, with the keys staying with the customer. | Rackspace's managed-services practice. |
| **2 · UK sovereign reference** | A reference for vaults on a Rackspace UK sovereign cloud for public-sector data. | The sovereign cloud team. |

## What we are asking Rackspace Technology for

1. A conversation with the managed-services practice about offering vaults.
2. An introduction to the UK sovereign cloud team.
3. An introduction through the [Rackspace Technology Global Partner Program](https://www.rackspace.com/about/channel-partners).

## What this page does not claim

- **No endorsement.** Rackspace Technology has not endorsed sgit, and we have not spoken to anyone there about this. Programme and product descriptions quote Rackspace Technology's own pages as of 24 September 2026.
- **Untested.** Nothing here has run on Rackspace infrastructure.
