The path to the goal: from infrastructure requirements 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
The requirements included high availability, consistent network performance, low latency via DE-CIX, and full compliance with European standards.
Solutions
firstcolo provided a Tier III+ compliant infrastructure at the R3 data center in Frankfurt, featuring redundant power supply, cooling systems, and direct connectivity to DE-CIX.

Customer testimonial
The process from the initial discussions through to deployment was fast, efficient, and straightforward.
Because firstcolo’s facility ensures a very high level of physical reliability, our experts can focus on the cloud platform itself rather than dealing with environmental or connectivity issues.
