The Complete Success Story
The path to the goal: From infrastructure needs to a highly available cloud availability zone
Initial Situation
LifeinCloud and its sub-brand LumaDock required a central European Availability Zone to support public, private, and GPU cloud workloads.
Challenge
High availability, consistent network performance, low latencies via DE-CIX, and full compliance with European standards were required.
Solution
firstcolo provided Tier III+ compliant infrastructure in the R3 data center in Frankfurt, featuring redundant power supply, cooling, and a direct DE-CIX connection.
LifeinCloud and LumaDock operate a highly available Availability Zone at firstcolo in Frankfurt, enabling scalable cloud services, low latencies, and high data sovereignty for customers across Europe.
