- Full cost control – transparent pricing model, predictable even as resource needs rise, with no hidden fees.
- Scalable and highly available – infrastructure certified to ISO 27001, stable and reachable at all times from data centres in Germany.
Infrastructure for chain operators
Blockchain infrastructure is unforgiving: it demands uptime, fast drives and ever-increasing storage capacity.
NVMe for Chain-State
Modern blockchains require high IOPS – NVMe volumes ensure fast synchronisation and state access, and can be scaled as the blockchain grows.
Uptime for validators
Dedicated servers with a contractually agreed SLA and monitoring with alerts minimise downtime, where downtime costs money.
Peers are well connected
Redundant connectivity and German peering ensure stable peer connections and low block latencies.
Keys protected
VPC isolation, firewalls and separate signing set-ups protect what really matters in this industry.
Resources to launch your blockchain business
Support & knowledge whenever you need it: whether through tutorials, detailed documentation or personal support – centron is at your side in every phase of your blockchain project and accompanies every step of growth.
Flexible computing
Flexible, simple computing with ccloud³ virtual machines for testnet nodes, RPC endpoints and dApp backends – resources that adapt to your growth without upfront investment; production validators on dedicated servers.
Storage
Flexible storage with S3 Object Storage for distributed databases and archives, plus volumes block storage on NVMe for chain state that grows with you.
Premium Full Managing
Backup, monitoring & updates – managed by centron: Premium Full Managing takes over security updates, monitoring and system maintenance for worry-free hosting of your blockchain application.
Kubernetes
Containerised solutions with scalable Kubernetes for blockchain containers, indexers and APIs – plus colocation for hybrid scenarios with your own hardware.
The stack behind your dApp
Testnet nodes run cost-effectively on VMs, whilst production nodes and validators run on dedicated servers; indexers and APIs scale in Kubernetes, and snapshots speed up the re-synchronisation of new nodes. Everything is monitored – because with Chains, every missed epoch counts.
- Full & Archive Nodes – NVMe storage scales with
- Validator operation – SLA & Alerts
- Indexers & APIs – Kubernetes back-ends
- Quick resync – via volume snapshot
