Rackspace
A managed cloud provider whose Database Management team runs MySQL on cloud or dedicated infrastructure, with a lead DBA per account, 24/7 operations, migrations, high availability, and performance tuning.
Rackspace Technology manages databases as part of its wider cloud operations business. For MySQL it covers the whole plan, build, and run cycle on public cloud or dedicated infrastructure: onboarding and migrations, installation, patching and upgrades, backup and restore, replication, clustered high-availability setups, capacity planning, security management, and slow-query analysis.
Each account gets a lead DBA who learns the client’s data platform and runs regular health and capacity reviews, backed by a 24/7 database operations team for alerts and break-fix work. Rackspace says it deploys active-active MySQL clusters on Percona XtraDB Cluster, and it can also supply MySQL Enterprise Edition on monthly licensing.
