Our open-source cloud service offers you flexibly scalable use and management of cloud infrastructures that comply with all European data protection directives.
Do you want to remain independent of hyperscalers? firstcloud is your optimal solution if you want to keep control of your cloud infrastructure in your own hands. We are a German company and operate the cloud in our own data centers in Frankfurt am Main. As an open-source cloud, it offers maximum transparency through insight into the source code and is not dependent on any single manufacturer.
Whether you only need infrastructure provisioning, additional managed services for a suitable platform, or if Kubernetes clusters are essential for your project: we can orchestrate all components to meet your needs so that you get the best possible results for your goals.
To best meet the needs of our customers, we continuously expand our portfolio with attractive services.
With our AI-optimized hardware selection for our hypervisors (e.g., Nvidia CUDA), we offer you the flexibility to deploy AI solutions, including in Kubernetes.
With the Dedicated Compute Service, hypervisors are exclusively available to you for increased security or special performance requirements, with full public cloud convenience.
In addition to Floating IPs and IP prefixes provided by firstcolo (e.g., IPv4 /29–/24), we can also announce your public IP network range in our public cloud.
Our highly available Identity Broker Service offers you central access management with the option to connect your own Identity Provider (SSO).
