Cloud made in Germany
We have been operating our own state-of-the-art data centre in Hallstadt, Upper Franconia, near Bamberg, since 2014 – and have been data centre operators since 2008. Our C5-certified cloud forms the foundation for your data-sovereign and high-performance IT infrastructure.
Four beliefs, one commitment
Technology is interchangeable – but attitude is not. That is what centron has stood for for many years.
Own infrastructure
We operate our own high-security data centre in Hallstadt near Bamberg – certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz, with redundant power supplies and secured around the clock. No rented racks, no black box.
Safety as a culture
From the unrestricted BSI C5:2020 Type 1 certificate to GDPR-compliant processing carried out exclusively in Germany: for us, security is a process, not a marketing promise.
People, not hold music
Personal points of contact who really understand our customers’ environments, and experts available 24/7 – the sort of service we’d want for ourselves.
A partnership of equals
From a start-up with a single VM to a large corporation requiring full management: we grow alongside our customers – with fair pricing, honest advice and a long-term perspective.
Deeply rooted in the region, at the forefront of technology
Our roots are in Bamberg – our customers are based throughout Germany and Europe. This combination defines us: short lines of communication and personal relationships on the one hand, and modern cloud technology – from Kubernetes to cloud GPUs – on the other. The result is a cloud that combines hyperscaler capabilities with the reliability of a medium-sized business.
- German provider with its own data centres
- Full product range From web hosting to cloud GPUs
- Certified security ISO 27001 (IT-Grundschutz) & BSI C5
- Personalised service as a corporate principle
Our company history
Since 1999, we have been developing reliable IT and cloud solutions for businesses – ranging from our own data centre infrastructure, through managed services and cloud platforms, to scalable storage, GPU and Kubernetes environments.

Connection to DE-CIX, the world’s largest internet exchange, for greater availability and faster response times. Centron is also the first IT company in the Bamberg region to be awarded the CrefoZert credit rating certificate from Creditreform.
Expansion of geo-redundant sites
Since then, system infrastructures have been distributed across three locations throughout Germany – ensuring the highest levels of reliability and data security.
Opening of the data centre and company headquarters
