Why centron

The foundation for your consultancy projects

Your reputation depends on the recommendations you make – centron provides the infrastructure you can stand behind.

PoCs without a lead-in

Proof-of-concepts can be launched in minutes and cost nothing once the project is complete – ideal for the quotation and pitch phases.

Compliance as an argument

C5 attestation, ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz and German data centres will also impress the auditors of your regulated clients.

Partners rather than a helpline

Direct points of contact with in-depth technical knowledge – essential when you need quick answers during a client meeting.

Reseller model

Through the Channel Partner Programme, you can operate customer environments on partner terms – your contract, your margin.

Use cases

Assessment, recommendation, migration and infrastructure build-up

centron’s IT consulting services offer comprehensive support in developing and implementing an effective IT strategy – as a complement to your consulting project or as the basis for your recommendation to the client.

Infrastructure analysis

A comprehensive analysis of existing IT systems for a clear picture of the current infrastructure – assessment of hardware, software, network performance and security measures.

Strategy recommendation

Based on the analysis, specific recommendations are drawn up that are tailored to the unique requirements and goals of the company.

Roadmap for optimisation

A detailed implementation plan with clear steps and timeframes for putting the recommended strategies into practice.

Planning the migration

Careful planning of the migration project so that all aspects are taken into account – for instance a VMware migration or a move out of the in-house server room.

Carrying out the migration

The experts lead the migration process, using modern tools and methods to transfer data and applications securely to the new cloud platform.

Set-up and configuration

After a successful migration, support with setting up and configuring the new cloud infrastructure – optionally with ongoing operation by managed services.

From proof of concept to operation

Support customers throughout the entire lifecycle

Assessment and proof of concept (PoC) on temporary instances, migration to production environments, followed by operation – either carried out by you on partner terms or by centron Managed Services, with you acting as the architect. Quotas and cReports provide the figures for each client.

Tech & Development FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the affiliate programme for consultancy firms work?

IT service providers, systems integrators and MSPs take part in the commission-based channel partner programme: they integrate centron cloud services into their portfolio and provide support to end customers; the service agreement is concluded directly between the end customer and centron – details can be found in the Channel Partner Agreement.

How much does it cost to get started?

The starting prices are deliberately low: ccloud³ VMs from €3.11 per month and Kubernetes from €29.99 per month. New accounts receive €200 in starting credit valid for 60 days – you can calculate the cost of your specific configuration transparently using the price calculator.

Can this be implemented in a way that complies with the GDPR?

Yes. In IT consultancy, you regularly process your clients’ data and act as a data processor yourself – the chain must be seamless. With centron, you receive a data processing agreement in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR, and all data remains in Germany. Operations take place in certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz data centres; for ccloud³ / Managed Cloud, we hold an unrestricted BSI C5:2020 Type 1 attestation. You can find details in the Trust Centre.
