Case Study: FundApps achieves secure, scalable hybrid cloud for fast regulatory compliance with Rackspace Technology

Making Financial Software Easier in the Hybrid Cloud

FundApps is a cloud-based compliance, risk and regulation monitoring service for the fund industry. As a startup competing with slow, monolithic legacy vendors, it faced two main challenges: convincing conservative finance customers that cloud computing was secure enough for sensitive data, and delivering rapid regulatory updates and scalable capacity without long integration cycles or heavy upfront costs.

FundApps solved this with a Rackspace Hybrid Cloud using RackConnect to link scalable cloud services to dedicated databases, backed by Rackspace’s managed “Fanatical Support.” The hybrid architecture gave customers the performance and security they demanded while enabling fast regulation updates (hours, not months), on-demand scaling, lower infrastructure overhead, and greater customer confidence — a pragmatic stepping stone toward full cloud adoption.
