Sovereign IaaS · Frankfurt am Main · GDPR

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)

Flexible Infrastructure-as-a-Service solutions, operated in multiple high-performance data centers at Digital Realty (Interxion) Frankfurt. Compute, storage, network and firewall – as consumption-based or dedicated capacity, scalable at any time and fully GDPR-compliant. On request redundant across two locations on the DE-CIX campus.

Sovereign IaaS from Frankfurt am Main

With our Infrastructure-as-a-Service solutions, you gain the full flexibility of a modern cloud platform – without the sovereignty risks of US-based hyperscalers. All workloads operate exclusively in our data centers at Digital Realty (Interxion) Frankfurt am Main, under German jurisdiction and full GDPR compliance.

Unlike public-cloud providers, you know at any time where your data resides, who has access and which sub-processors are involved. No hidden third-country transfers, no CLOUD Act, no creeping license adjustments.

What our IaaS solutions include

Compute

Virtual machines on dedicated enterprise hardware – CPU and RAM resources tailored to your exact requirements, with live migration between hosts without downtime. We exclusively use current Dell PowerEdge servers with DDR5 ECC memory – with Intel Xeon or AMD EPYC processors, exactly as your requirements dictate.

Storage

Flexible storage tiers for every use case:

  • NVMe Flash for the highest IOPS for databases and transactional workloads
  • Enterprise SSD as standard tier for production VMs
  • Object Storage for backup, archiving and large data sets
  • Ceph Distributed Storage with triple replication and self-healing

Snapshots, backups and disaster recovery concepts are part of the standard scope.

Network

Dedicated software-defined networking based on CloudStack or VyOS – with own VLANs, virtual routers, micro-segmentation and site-to-site VPN connection to your corporate network. IPv4 and IPv6 native, with real public IP networks from our AS57358.

Firewall & security

Dedicated firewall appliances per customer (pfSense, OPNsense or hardware firewall) – no shared edge. Carrier-level DDoS protection, optional web application firewall setup and full logging integration into your SIEM solution.

Cloud platforms

You choose the platform that fits your use case:

  • Apache CloudStack as a sovereign multi-tenant cloud platform with self-service
  • VMware vSphere (BYOL) for classic enterprise workloads
  • Proxmox VE as open-source VMware alternative
  • Kubernetes for cloud-native and container workloads

Redundancy across multiple locations

In Frankfurt am Main we have access to multiple data centers on the Digital Realty (Interxion) campus – including FRA8 and FRA15. On request we implement your IaaS platform geo-redundant across two or more locations:

  • Synchronous storage replication between FRA8 and FRA15
  • Stretched cluster with automatic failover
  • Dedicated dark fiber connection between locations
  • Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service on demand

This ensures your workloads remain available even during a complete data center outage.

Connectivity at DE-CIX

Through our AS57358 you gain direct access to more than 1,000 carriers, ISPs and CDNs at the DE-CIX – one of the world’s largest internet exchanges. Direct peering to all relevant cloud providers (AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, Google Cloud Interconnect) available on request.

For hybrid scenarios this means: measurably low latency, predictable bandwidth and no bottlenecks at peak hours.

What characterizes our IaaS solutions

  • Flexibly configurable: from a single virtual server to a complete multi-tier architecture
  • Full control: Full administrative access via API, web interface or self-service portal
  • Transparent billing: clear monthly prices and transparent traffic terms – no fees for API calls
  • GDPR contract included: Full data processing agreement (DPA) according to Art. 28 GDPR
  • Personal support: Direct contact with our engineering team, no first-level filter
  • ISO-certified data centers: ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 9001, ISO 50001, ISO 14001, PCI-DSS

Typical use cases

  • Public cloud repatriation: Migration of workloads from AWS/Azure/GCP for cost or compliance reasons
  • VMware alternative: Migration of vSphere environments after the Broadcom acquisition
  • GDPR-critical applications: SaaS platforms, patient management systems, HR software
  • Business-critical platforms: ERP, CRM, e-commerce platforms with the highest availability requirements
  • Disaster recovery: Secondary site for existing on-premises environments
  • Hybrid cloud scenarios: Connection to existing public cloud instances with controlled data interface
