3 regional cloud locations
The ScaleUp Open Cloud is unique in Germany. Hosted on refurbished Open Compute hardware in our state-of-the-art data centers, it sets new standards in terms of efficiency and environmental friendliness.
With the latest OCC2 Cloud, we offer an infrastructure that is fully compliant with the Sovereign Cloud Stack (SCS)*. All SCS-certified clouds are tested daily for compliance with the standards - the results of the tests are publicly viewable.
Our cloud data centers are all ISO/IEC 27001 certified and meet the highest security and quality standards. The ScaleUp Open Cloud enables flexible use for cloud computing (IaaS), Managed Kubernetes or
* The scs-compatible-iaas standard guarantees vendor-independent, uniform images, flavors and APIs to avoid vendor lock-in.
What sets us apart from other cloud providers
100% Green power
Since 2020, all ScaleUp data centers have been running on certified green electricity from partly regional, renewable energies (excluding nuclear power), most data center sites since 2012.
Refurbished Hardware
ScaleUp is switching to refurbished hardware wherever possible. In 2020, the share was 40 percent, and in 2021 it was already over 60 percent. We are thus saving around 42% emissions for IT hardware.
Open Infrastructure
There is no vendor lock-in. You can freely choose your cloud providers and switch at any time. You also get full API access and are free to choose the operating system for your environment.
DSGVO compliant
Keep full control over your business critical data. The ScaleUp Open Cloud is hosted 100 % in Germany and complies with strict European data protection standards (DSGVO).
Transparency
We clearly and understandably communicate our SLA, prices, and our sustainability goals and measures for climate-friendly hosting.
Personal support
In the event of an emergency, and even on weekdays, you will always have a dedicated and experienced system administrator to help you with any problems or questions you may have.

IaaS vs. Hosted Private Cloud
What are the differences between an IaaS and a hosted private cloud solution? For which use case are they suitable?
Public Cloud
You will receive your own virtual data center environment with its own IP network area, access to the OpenStack Horizon dashboard and full API access in an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model. You can provision your own virtual machines (VMs) and extend them with block / object-based storage (Ceph, Swift), load balancing, etc.
Private Cloud
Building a private cloud requires significant financial and time investment, not to mention technical expertise. With a Managed Private Cloud variant (also Hosted Private Cloud), we take over the planning, setup and ongoing management of the cloud environment for you.

Open Infrastructure
Why OpenStack
OpenStack allows virtual machines (VMs), containers (e.g. Docker), bare metal and dedicated IT infrastructures to be orchestrated on a single network. The OpenStack platform's open source code guarantees transparency and flexibility independent of specific vendors and providers. Vendor lock-in and expensive software licensing fees are eliminated.
Demo account
14 days OpenStack test environment
You will receive your own 14-day trial access to our OpenStack environment. There, you can take full advantage of our IaaS offering and provision any virtual machine (VM) instances yourself. You can extend your instances with block-based storage (Ceph), object-based storage (Swift), load balancing, and more.
If you start with a real IaaS account after the test phase, your settings from the test environment are retained and you receive your own virtual data center environment (VDC) from us with your own IP network area, access to the OpenStack Horizon Dashboard and full API access. The billing of the IaaS account is flexible and purely usage-based according to our current Price list. Individual pricing based on minimum order quantities and longer terms is also possible. Please contact us in this regard!
