Our Managed Cloud Services
ScaleUp Open Cloud lets you rent highly available, managed cloud resources on demand - flexibly and cost-effectively. They always use state-of-the-art, scalable and highly redundant open infrastructure based on OCP & OpenStack.
It doesn't matter if you need five or a hundred virtual servers, or if you want your cloud in a Private Cloud, Public Cloud or Hybrid Cloud Environment, i.e. combined with dedicated hardware. We advise and support you at every implementation stage and ensure a smooth realization of your Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) project.

Sustainable Cloud
3 Cloud locations
The ScaleUp Open Cloud is unique in Germany. It is hosted in a highly sustainable way on refurbished Open Compute hardware in our high-performance data centers.
Together with the HKN we have built up the Open Cloud offering. Our cloud data centers are all ISO/IEC 27001 certified and meet the highest quality and security requirements. Through the ScaleUp Open Cloud, you can use our infrastructure offerings to Cloud computing (IaaS), Managed Kubernetes or combined with Colocation as a hybrid cloud solution currently available at three different data center locations.
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.
Do you have questions about our cloud service offerings?
Cloud Service Components
ScaleUp Open Cloud is a public cloud and as such offers rapidly available compute, storage and network resources that can be flexibly customized on demand and remotely (agile infrastructure). You can use your own boot images and create highly-available site-mirrored cloud infrastructures according to your needs.
Compute: Nova
Provisioning of virtual machines (VMs) via CLI, web interface or API.
Block Storage: Cinder
Provides volumes (block-based storage) as highly available, redundant storage.
Object Storage: Swift
OpenStack Swift stores objects and their metadata via a RESTful API and supports token-based authentication and rights management.
Images: Glance
Stores images of instances to be used for other services.
Networking: Neutron / Octavia
OpenStack Neurtron offers SDN, VLANs for hybrid cloud environments, IP management, load balancing
Management
Horizon (management GUI), Keystone (authentication (authN) and high-level authorization assignment (authZ)), OpenStack Heat (cloud orchestration).

What's next?
What happens after your inquiry with us?
01
Initial consultation
We advise you personally on your questions and create a requirements profile together with you.
02
Setup design
With the help of your requirements profile, we create an individual setup design for your managed cloud solution.
03
Start
Depending on the setup variant, you can start your virtual data center in a few hours or days.
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 purchases and longer terms is also possible. Please contact us in this regard!
