The benefits of public cloud in your own data center
Cloud-in-a-Box is a complete solution that combines the advantages of the public cloud with the flexibility of your own data center. The solution consists of high-quality hardware, open-source software, and managed services. You get your own scalable, high-performance, and tailor-made Software Defined Data Center, fully managed by us.
Specific solutions
Cloud-in-a-Box combines hardware, software, and services into one total solution. You focus on your business, we manage your IT infrastructure.
Hardware
We choose top-tier brands but reduce costs by critically evaluating suppliers and shifting more intelligence to the software layer. As a result, we can work with high-performance, standardized hardware.
Software
We prefer open-source software to fully tailor the environment to your specific needs. By consciously choosing a different path, we offer a high-quality, reliable alternative to large international providers.
Managed services
Beyond smart hardware and software choices, we make the difference through local service: your solution is managed by our cloud experts, and support is handled by our local team.
What's in it for you?
Solutions only make sense if they offer tangible advantages for your business. Here’s what Cloud-in-a-Box brings you.
Competitive pricing
Strong partnerships, smart choices, and in-house expertise allow us to offer a complete solution at a significantly lower price than large international cloud providers, with no hidden costs later on.
No vendor lock-in
Our open-source approach gives you freedom and flexibility. You’re no longer tied to a single vendor and can shape your IT strategy independently.
Maximum performance
Choosing a different technology doesn’t mean compromising on quality. On the contrary: Cloud-in-a-Box typically delivers higher performance than many other cloud environments, because you retain full control over your hardware resources.
Local support
Your solution is managed by local experts who are only a phone call away and who can even visit you on-site if needed. We offer several tailored service levels depending on your needs.
Scalability and flexibility
Our solution adapts to your business needs. New workloads can be added easily without downtime. Thanks to clustering and intelligent automation, performance remains consistent, even during maintenance.
Data sovereignty
With Cloud-in-a-Box, we deliberately choose local hosting, storage, and processing. Whenever possible, we work with European suppliers to guarantee compliance and data sovereignty.
