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.

UpCloud

  • MaxIOPS Block Storage

    UpCloud's proprietary storage technology delivers up to 100,000 IOPS on read/write operations, verified in benchmarks like those from Cloud Spectator. This enables databases and high-traffic apps to run smoothly without bottlenecks. Storage attaches directly to servers, with snapshots for quick backups. Users benefit from consistent performance across all plans, unlike tiered systems elsewhere.

  • Global Data Centers and Networking

    Choose from 13 locations: eight in Europe (Helsinki, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Warsaw, Stockholm, Copenhagen), plus Chicago, New York, San Jose, Singapore, and Sydney. Networking includes free load balancers, VPN gateways, and NAT for private connectivity. No charges apply for ingress or egress traffic, reducing bills for data-heavy workloads.

  • Managed Services and Essentials Package

    Deploy managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, Valkey, or OpenSearch databases with automated scaling and updates. Managed Kubernetes control planes handle etcd and upgrades. The free UpCloud Essentials package bundles daily backups, floating IPs, and basic firewalls at no added cost. API access supports automation for CI/CD pipelines.
