Cloud infrastructure that grows with you
Start with a VM – and scale up to a Kubernetes cluster with GPU power, without changing providers. Everything runs in our own data centre in Hallstadt near Bamberg, operated by people you know by name. No hyperscaler in the background, no laws from third countries: your data stays in Germany.
ISO 27001 (IT-Grundschutz) · BSI C5:2020 Type 1 · ISO 9001 · ISO 14001 — all certificates in the Trust Centre
Sovereign Cloud – thought through to its logical conclusion
Many providers promise data sovereignty. centron delivers it: with its own data centres, its own team and its own technology – without relying on hyperscalers or foreign parent companies.
Our own infrastructure rather than leased sovereignty
Our own data centre in Hallstadt near Bamberg, featuring two separate fire compartments – the building, premises and hardware are owned by centron and have not been sourced from third parties. Your data never leaves Germany; the entire value chain remains within the country.
Independent – including under company law
centron is an owner-managed German company with no foreign parent company. This means that your data is governed exclusively by German and European law – with no risk of access via the legislation of third countries.
People rather than queues for tickets
Experts available 24/7 with dedicated points of contact – from the initial consultation right through to operation. Tailored managed services right up to premium full management, rather than rigid standard packages.
Up to 50 per cent cheaper than hyperscalers
Full control at no extra cost: VMs from €3.12 a month, billed by the hour – you only pay for what you actually use. Incoming and internal traffic are included; with S3 Object Storage, external traffic is also included.
