ScaleUp Technologies becomes DE-CIX DirectCLOUD Partner

Cloud hosting specialist ScaleUp Technologies is now a DE-CIX DirectCLOUD ISP partner and has thus now significantly expanded its IaaS offering (Infrastructure-as-a-Service offering).

Cloud hosting specialist ScaleUp Technologies is now a DE-CIX DirectCLOUD partner and has thus now significantly expanded its IaaS offering (Infrastructure-as-a-Service offering). DirectCLOUD is a cloud service launched at the beginning of 2017 by German internet node operator DE-CIX. Through DirectCLOUD, users can quickly and flexibly use cloud connections to all major cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba and combine them with individual ScaleUp Open Cloud services such as Managed Kubernetes. Furthermore, the ScaleUp Open Cloud is thus usable by others via the DirectCLOUD connection. In addition to the major cloud providers, you can access 40+ smaller and regional providers through DirectCLOUD.

DE-CIX (German Commercial Internet Exchange) is the world's largest Internet node in terms of data throughput. In addition to its main hub in Frankfurt am Main, other Internet nodes are located in Hamburg, Munich, Düsseldorf, New York, Dallas, Dubai, Marseille, Palermo, Madrid, Lisbon and Istanbul. At its locations, DE-CIX serves approximately 1600 network operators, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and content providers from more than 100 countries with peering and interconnection services. 

Launched in early 2017, the DirectCLOUD service offers companies that want to use the service, A dedicated, secure connection for a wide range of cloud service providers. Users can thus quickly and conveniently establish connections to new cloud resources (e.g. AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba, etc.), switch cloud providers, or build stable, redundant cloud networks with DDoS secure connectivity. 

The service is connected via a VLAN, which is transported by ScaleUp from the customer to DE-CIX. DE-CIX then extends this VLAN connection to the respective cloud. The connection via VLAN bypasses the Internet and is thus protected against DDoS attacks. It also facilitates redundant IT solutions that provide greater resilience. This is because when data is sent over the Internet, sent data packets can be lost, long response times can occur or the connection could be attacked.

The new service thus offers ScaleUp customers many advantages:

  • All major cloud providers and 40+ regional providers with one connection
  • Maximum flexible cloud resources
  • No vendor lock-in: easy switching of cloud providers
  • DDoS secure connection via VLAN

The DE-CIX DirectCLOUD service allows customers to freely choose which cloud offering and which associated services are to be used selectively via different providers. If necessary, workloads can be distributed in a targeted manner according to requirements. In addition, future decisions remain unaffected by the provider. Customers can switch their cloud provider more easily.
