Elastx

  • Three Swedish Availability Zones for High Availability

    Elastx spreads infrastructure across three zones, each 20 km apart, ensuring no single failure impacts services. This supports active-active setups and automatic failover. Triple redundancy protects data, with built-in backups and disaster recovery options. Customers report seamless operations during outages elsewhere.

  • Open-Source IaaS with OpenStack and Kubernetes

    The platform uses OpenStack for virtual machines, block/object storage, and networking. Kubernetes CaaS handles container orchestration, with managed clusters including auto-scaling and load balancers. Documentation covers persistent volumes, ingress controllers, and integrations like cert-manager. No proprietary tech means easy migration.

  • Advanced Security and DBaaS

    DDoS protection, WAF, threat intelligence, and encryption come standard. DBaaS supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Redis, Valkey, and MSSQL, with automated backups, scaling, and observability metrics. Firewalls, TLS, and role-based access align with enterprise needs. ISO certifications verify compliance processes.

  • Flexible Pricing and Sustainability

    Pay hourly for resources used, with no contracts or egress fees for common scenarios. Included services reduce surprise costs. Green electricity powers data centers, meeting ISO 14001 standards. Support tiers offer 24/7 access for critical users.

gridscale

  • Intuitive Control Panel and API

    Administrators use a drag-and-drop interface to deploy VMs or services quickly, reducing setup time from hours to minutes. For developers, a RESTful API enables scripting and integration. Real-time dashboards show consumption and costs, with per-minute billing avoiding overprovisioning. This setup suits teams without dedicated cloud experts.

  • Scalable Compute and Storage Options

    Core offerings include flexible VMs for general workloads, NVMe-based Rocket Storage for speed, and S3 object storage for unstructured data. GPU instances support AI/ML tasks. Managed services cover Kubernetes clusters, PostgreSQL/MySQL databases, and load balancers, with auto-scaling and backups included. Resources provision in seconds across multiple availability zones.

  • Hybrid Core Concierge for HCI

    This fully managed tool automates datacenter operations on hyperconverged infrastructure. Users deploy gridscale's hardware on-site or in chosen locations, gaining public cloud features privately. Modules handle account management, branding, and automation. Onboarding involves hardware procurement, setup, and testing, ensuring seamless cloud exit strategies.
