Managed Cloud Servers, Engineered and Operated in the EU

Elastic compute you can scale without inheriting the operational burden. We provision, harden, patch and monitor your instances around the clock, with EU data residency and the operating system of your choice. Engineered in Europe from our Amsterdam and Dubai offices, open-source-first and sovereign by design, so the keys, the access and the exit path stay with you. No surprise reboots, no hyperscaler lock-in, no help-desk between you and the engineers running your stack.

What we run for you

  • Full lifecycle management: provisioning, OS and security patching, monitoring, backups and incident response handled by engineers on a schedule you set
  • Your choice of OS, e.g. Debian, Ubuntu, Rocky/Alma, RHEL, SUSE or Windows Server, configured and hardened to your stack rather than a fixed image
  • Scale compute, memory and storage on demand as workloads grow, with no rebuild and a clean path off whenever you want it
  • 24/7 monitoring with proactive patching, capacity planning and tested recovery, backed by an availability SLA scoped to your needs
  • Optional DevOps and AIOps automation, e.g. infrastructure-as-code (OpenTofu, Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi), GitOps and AI-driven observability, mapped to your stack

Sovereign and GDPR-aligned by default

  • EU data residency as a standard capability, removing cross-border transfer risk and simplifying your DPAs under GDPR and the CLOUD Act
  • Encryption with keys you hold (BYOK/HYOK), so you alone control access, not the platform operator and not a foreign jurisdiction
  • Open-source-first tooling end to end, e.g. KVM/libvirt, Ceph and S3-compatible object storage, so there is no proprietary lock-in at the infrastructure layer
  • Signed Data Processing Agreement, hardened access controls and audit-ready logging aligned to NIS2 and ISO 27001 practice
  • A clear upgrade path to a fully sovereign private cloud, e.g. OpenStack, Proxmox VE, Harvester, CloudStack or Kubernetes-native (KubeVirt), as requirements tighten

Operated by engineers, not a ticket queue

  • Low-downtime migration of existing servers and workloads into managed EU cloud, with assessment and a tested cutover plan first
  • Backups, disaster recovery and rehearsed restore procedures, not just snapshots you hope work
  • Performance tuning across CPU, memory, storage and network for the workloads you actually run
  • Direct access to senior infrastructure engineers for scaling, changes and incident response
  • One partner across infrastructure, DevOps and private AI, so cloud servers connect cleanly to the rest of your estate, and we adapt to your stack
FAQ
What is the difference between managed and unmanaged cloud servers?

With managed cloud servers we run the instance for you: OS updates, security patching, monitoring, backups, hardening and support. Unmanaged means you get the server and network and handle all of that yourself. Managed lets your team focus on the application instead of the infrastructure under it.

Can I choose the operating system on a managed cloud server?

Yes. We provision, configure and harden any major Linux distribution (Debian, Ubuntu, Rocky, AlmaLinux, RHEL, SUSE and others) as well as Windows Server. If you have a specific image, golden build or immutable OS, we run and manage that too.

Are your cloud servers GDPR-compliant and hosted in the EU?

Yes. We offer EU data residency with engineering based in Europe, plus encryption with keys you control, access controls, backups and a signed Data Processing Agreement. Residency removes cross-border transfer risk; the technical and organisational measures we add address the rest of GDPR and reduce CLOUD Act exposure.

Can you migrate our existing servers to managed EU cloud hosting?

Yes. We assess your current setup, plan the migration and move workloads to managed cloud servers in the EU with minimal downtime, then operate them for you. We work across hypervisor and cloud platforms rather than forcing a single target, so the destination fits your workloads. Contact us for a scoped plan.

What if we outgrow managed cloud servers or need full sovereignty?

You stay on the same open-source-first stack with no lock-in. We scale you onto a fully sovereign private cloud built the way your workloads demand, e.g. OpenStack or CloudStack for an IaaS control plane, Proxmox VE or Harvester for a hypervisor/HCI stack, or Kubernetes-native virtualization with KubeVirt, and keep operating everything for you.
