Rackspace offers high-performance MongoDB Database-As-A-Service

Rackspace® Hosting has launched ObjectRocket, its NoSQL MongoDB Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), in its UK data centre. With the open source-based MongoDB solution, Rackspace will broaden its portfolio to offer European customers a NoSQL DBaaS for big data applications. This offering will be built upon hardware optimised specifically for MongoDB and easily accessed and integrated into existing systems.

“Rackspace’s work to establish a strong presence within the high-growth NoSQL database market has flourished since our acquisition of ObjectRocket back in February 2013. Bringing this technology to our local European customer base is integral to expanding the total service offering available from our UK data centre. We can now provide MongoDB with low latency, high-bandwidth proximity to our other cloud and hosting solutions,” said Nigel Beighton, VP Technology at Rackspace International.


ObjectRocket is a sharded and fully managed MongoDB service built with a set of tools and APIs designed to maximise uptime and reduce administration time - all supported by Rackspace’s Fanatical Support®. It is highly scalable allowing it to grow with customers’ business needs. In addition, data is multiplexed across many physically separate systems – minimising the possibility of downtime in any eventuality.


Rackspace has precision-tuned its delivery of MongoDB to make it much faster for customers to use. As this offering now comes to the European market, customers will be able to benefit from a service that has been completely optimised for running MongoDB across all layers of the stack, from the network to the file system and the hardware. It is essentially a power socket for applications; users just plug it into ObjectRocket and Rackspace manages all the scaling, sharding and performance of the database itself, freeing developer time to focus 100% on the application itself.
