Aruba Cloud vs Hetzner

Bare Metal and VPS Servers

Dedicated servers offer latest hardware with full configurability and simplified management. QuickStart variants deploy in 24 hours for urgent needs. VPS on OpenStack provide cost-effective virtual machines. GPU servers support private AI and machine learning projects. Network add-ons like firewalls and Switch as a Service build secure setups. These run in high-rated Italian data centers for low latency.

Public Cloud Services

OpenStack Cloud Servers handle test and production with unlimited traffic. Virtual Data Centers scale with ecosystem tools. Managed Kubernetes simplifies clusters, while Application Platform uses container tech for efficiency. Container Registry stores images securely. Database as a Service manages relational DBs. Monitoring covers sites and servers. Storage options include S3-compatible object storage and block volumes.

VMware-Optimized Solutions

VMware Cloud Servers deliver reliable virtual machines. Virtual Private Clouds allow custom networks, firewalls, and management via VMware Cloud Director. Unified Storage shares data across environments. Disaster recovery uses Zerto, Veeam, or vSphere tools. Backups protect VPCs with Veeam on bare metal. As a VMware Pinnacle Partner, Aruba ensures tight integration for enterprises.

Storage and Backup Services

Smart Storage secures server data compliantly. Cloud Object Storage offers S3 compatibility. Block Storage adds scalable disks. Backups via cloud, agentless for VDCs/Kubernetes, or Microsoft 365 protection use Veeam and Commvault. Promotions like 50% off Commvault packages appear periodically. These protect against loss while supporting hybrid setups.

Dedicated root servers and Server Auction

Bare-metal root servers with full hardware isolation for predictable I/O and custom OS installs. The Server Auction lists surplus or end-of-primary-use machines at declining prices for labs, secondary environments, and cost-sensitive dedicated capacity.

Hetzner Cloud with API, networks, and apps

VMs with shared or dedicated vCPU classes, managed via Console, REST API, and CLI. Private networks, stateful firewalls, load balancers, Linux images, Terraform/Ansible/Kubernetes integrations, and one-click apps (Docker, Nextcloud, GitLab CE, WireGuard, and more) for self-hosted stacks.

Owned EU data center parks plus optional US/Singapore cloud

Company-operated parks in Nuremberg, Falkenstein (Germany), and Helsinki (Finland). Cloud also in Ashburn, Hillsboro (USA), and Singapore on third-party colocation. Non-cloud products and EU-selected cloud locations keep server data in the EU per Hetzner docs; master data stays in the EU.

ISO 27001, BSI C5 Type 2, and console DPA

Public ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certificate for DE/FI park scope; BSI C5 Type 2 for cloud; Art. 28 DPA accept-in-console with published TOMs and annual external TOM review available to DPA customers. Not a SOC 2-first vendor.

Inclusive traffic-oriented European cloud pricing model

Pay-as-you-go cloud (hourly or monthly) and list-based dedicated servers, with marketing emphasis on high inclusive traffic on European plans versus hyperscaler egress bills. Confirm current allowances and rates only on the official calculator—figures change by region and over time.
