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.

Scaleway

  • Elastic Metal Bare Metal Servers

    Elastic Metal provides on-demand bare metal instances like Aluminium, Iridium, and GPU-equipped Titanium models. Deployment takes minutes via API, with models tailored for general compute, storage-intensive tasks, or AI. Users avoid virtualization overhead for better performance in databases or gaming servers. Models start around €0.02 per hour, with full root access and custom images.

  • GPU Instances and AI Tools

    High-end GPUs such as NVIDIA L40S, H100, and B300-SXM support AI training and inference. Custom GPU clusters scale for large models. Additional AI services include generative APIs and managed inference. These integrate with Kubernetes for orchestration, serving needs from startups to research labs without vendor lock-in.

  • Managed Kubernetes, Databases, and Storage

    Kapsule offers managed Kubernetes clusters, while Kosmos enables multi-cloud setups. Databases cover PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, and ClickHouse as managed services. Storage options include object (S3-compatible), block, and Glacier for archiving. Serverless Functions, Containers, and Jobs handle event-driven workloads. All scale automatically.

  • Renewable Data Centers and Networking

    Nine data centers consume renewable energy, hitting a 1.15 PUE. Locations ensure low latency in Paris (multi-AZ), Amsterdam, and Warsaw. Networking features private VPCs, load balancers, WAF, and global anycast IPs. Tools like CLI and Terraform simplify management.
