Rackspace and Palantir Unveil AI Operating Framework for Regulated Enterprises — Rackspace Technology, Inc.

Event summary

Rackspace Technology and Palantir launched an operating framework to help regulated enterprises deploy AI in production, combining Palantir Foundry/AIP with Rackspace’s governed infrastructure.
The framework targets healthcare, financial services, energy, and sovereign organizations requiring strict data control, security, and governance.
Rackspace has scaled to 400 Palantir certifications across sales, engineering, delivery, and operations since February 2026.
First joint deployment reduced quote cycle time by 94% for a U.S.-based solar tracking manufacturer.
Rackspace commits to deploying Foundry/AIP across >70% of its own back-office operations under the Rackspace OneOS program.

The big picture

This collaboration addresses a critical gap in enterprise AI: deploying models at scale within strict governance frameworks. As industries like healthcare and finance face increasing regulatory scrutiny, solutions that balance innovation with compliance will gain traction. The framework’s success could set a new standard for sovereign AI deployments.
