Private Cloud (Data Center)

IT is becoming more hybrid, applications more critical

And the demands on security, availability, and accountability are increasing, while budgets and resources remain scarce. Without clear governance, infrastructure becomes a risk: unclear responsibilities, unpredictable operating costs, inconsistent security levels, and audit uncertainty slow down operations and projects—and increase the attack surface. Pure public cloud models don’t always offer sufficient data sovereignty or predictability.

At the same time, “compute and storage” is no longer enough. What’s needed are highly available, scalable platforms with clear security and compliance standards, predictable performance, and transparent operational processes. Since on-premises data centers often fail due to cost, speed, and a lack of expertise, the need for a highly available private cloud base within the data center—as a stable foundation for hybrid business services—is growing.

Key challenges and how we solve them

Scale quickly without CapEx/facility risk
Shared Private Cloud “ready to use”, predictable and quick to onboard
Hybrid connectivity without pitfalls
Redundant connections, clean segmentation, clear handovers incl. Operations/monitoring/documentation
Security & compliance demonstrable
Tenant/data separation, RBAC, hardening, logging, defined operational processes
Quality & capacity controllable
End-to-end monitoring, SLA reports, trend & capacity analyses

What do we do?

We operate our multi-tenant private cloud as a managed service in highly available colocation facilities in Frankfurt. The platform is standardized and scalable – with clear operational processes, end-to-end security, integrated monitoring, and binding SLAs.

This allows us to combine TIER 3+ data center standards with a cost-effective operating model – providing a stable foundation for private cloud workloads, hybrid integrations, and business-critical services.

Detailed scope of services
of the services

Platform & Architecture
Standardized private cloud platform with flexible service classes: compute (VM) and storage including tiering, snapshots, and replication. High availability by design – redundancy, clustering, and failover – as well as technology redundancy to mitigate vendor risks. Provisioning via templates and a service catalog: fast, consistent, and transparent.

Network & Hybrid Connectivity
Highly redundant on-premises and cloud connections – VPN, MPLS, or SD-WAN, optionally with express connectivity. Segmentation down to micro-segmentation, modern firewalls, and clearly defined handover points. Documented routing and IP management ensures transparency and clear responsibilities. Optional: load and traffic concepts for web and API.

Security, Compliance & Resilience
Operation in a Tier 3+ environment with physical security. Security by design: hardening, RBAC, logging, and auditability. Backup and restore with tiered options, optional disaster recovery with defined RPO and RTO values, and runbooks. Regular audits and thorough documentation for compliance.

Managed Services & Service Management
24/7 monitoring, incident and problem management including escalation channels. Change, release, patch, and lifecycle management according to agreed-upon scope. Proactive capacity and performance management, SLA reporting, and service reviews. Standardized transition—planning, cutover, and handover—and close integration with the service desk.

What makes our Private Cloud so special?

Dedicated Platform & Architecture
Single-tenant per customer: dedicated platform including a separate management layer, dedicated compute/cluster resources, and service classes. Dedicated storage with tiering, snapshots, and replication. High availability by design (redundancy, cluster/failover). Provisioning via templates and a service catalog – with optional, updatable extensions.

Network, Connectivity & Hybrid Connectivity
Highly redundant connections (VPN/MPLS/SD-WAN), optional dedicated network/security components. Segmentation down to micro-segmentation, modern firewalls, clear handovers, and documented operational boundaries. Controlled integration with on-premises and optional express deployment in the public cloud – without compromising sovereignty.

Security, Compliance & Resilience
Operation in a Tier 3+ environment. Security-by-Design: Hardening, RBAC, logging, and auditability. Strict separation through dedicated resources and traceable admin/access processes. Backup/restore + optional DR with RPO/RTO, runbooks, and testing. Regular patching/vulnerability processes and robust documentation.

Managed Services & Service Management
24/7 monitoring and incident/problem management with clear escalations. Change/release, patching, and lifecycle management are cleanly controlled and documented. Proactive capacity/performance management, SLA/availability/capacity reporting, and service reviews. Standardized transition including runbooks and close integration with the service desk.
