European technologies in security and space
Commissioner Andrius Kubilius' visit to CloudFerro highlights the importance of European technologies for Europe's security and operational readiness
Private Cloud
A fully dedicated private cloud deployed in a physically separated environment within CloudFerro's ultra-secure Tier 3 European data centres — single-tenant, built on open-source technologies, and fully administered by CloudFerro.

Customer Challenges
When private cloud is the right choice
Strict isolation and compliance requirements
Regulated industries, public institutions, and data-sensitive organisations need guaranteed physical separation and full control over where their data lives — requirements that shared infrastructure cannot meet.
Avoiding dependency on proprietary platforms
Organisations seeking long-term flexibility need an open, portable infrastructure stack — free from proprietary APIs, hyperscaler pricing models, and vendor-imposed constraints.
Private cloud without the operational burden
Building and running a private cloud in-house demands scarce skills, capital investment, and dedicated teams. A managed private cloud delivers the isolation you need without the overhead.
Full isolation without owning the infrastructure
A sovereign, fully managed private cloud for organisations that require physical isolation, regulatory compliance, and large-scale performance.
Mission-critical isolation
Run sensitive and regulated workloads in a physically separated, single-tenant environment — with the agility and cost model of the cloud, and no upfront capital investment required.
Open-source foundation
High availability and full redundancy across compute, storage, networking, and management layers — built on proven open-source technologies (OpenStack and Ceph) that remain portable and vendor-independent.
Fully managed by CloudFerro
Designed, deployed, and supported 24/7 by in-house CloudFerro engineers with deep expertise in large-scale, data-intensive infrastructures — no outsourcing, no third-party escalation paths.
Product Features
A dedicated cloud environment managed by CloudFerro
A fully managed, sovereign private cloud hosted in CloudFerro's EU data centres — secure, scalable, and independent by design.
Physically separated, single-tenant infrastructure
Your environment is completely isolated from other tenants at the hardware level — dedicated compute, storage, and networking with no shared components.
OpenStack-based compute and networking
Built on OpenStack, proven, open-source compute and networking that avoids proprietary lock-in and integrates with standard tooling.
Ceph-based storage at petabyte scale
Ceph-powered block and object storage scaling to dozens of petabytes. Purpose-built for data-intensive scientific, geospatial, and enterprise workloads.
Fully redundant management plane
Redundant management, storage, compute, and networking layers ensure high availability and fault tolerance — with no single point of failure across the entire stack.
Typical Use Cases
When is a dedicated cloud the right choice?
Public sector & EU institutions
Meet strict procurement requirements, EU data residency mandates, and public sector compliance obligations — in a fully sovereign European private cloud trusted by ESA, ECMWF, and the European Commission.
Regulated & compliance-driven environments
Finance, healthcare, defence, and legal sectors requiring physical isolation, auditability, and guaranteed data residency under GDPR, NIS2, and sector-specific frameworks.
Large-scale data processing & scientific workloads
Earth Observation processing, climate modelling, genomics, and AI training workloads that require predictable performance, petabyte-scale storage, and dedicated compute resources.
Migration from legacy private infrastructure
Replace ageing on-premises infrastructure with a cloud-operated private environment — gaining scalability, managed operations, and pay-per-use economics without a forklift migration.
Gain isolation, predictability, and full sovereignty
Private cloud for mission-critical workloads — delivered as a managed service with no upfront investment, predictable TCO, and full EU sovereignty.
Compliance & sovereignty by design
Your data never leaves European sovereign infrastructure. A fully isolated, EU-hosted private cloud that satisfies the strictest regulatory requirements — GDPR, NIS2, and sector-specific compliance — without compromise.
No vendor lock-in
Built entirely on open-source OpenStack and Ceph standards. Your infrastructure remains portable and independent — no proprietary APIs, no hyperscaler dependency, no migration penalties.
Predictable TCO comparable to public cloud
Choose pay-per-use or fixed-term subscription — both give you the cost model of the cloud without the infrastructure ownership burden. Budget with confidence — no CAPEX, no egress surprises, no hidden fees.
INTEGRATIONS
Fits into your existing environment
CloudFerro Private Cloud connects to your on-premises systems, identity providers, private networks, and existing tooling — extending your infrastructure without replacing it.
On-premises & legacy infrastructure
Connect your private cloud to existing on-prem systems and legacy platforms — bridging old and new without wholesale replacement.
Customer identity & authentication providers
Integrate with your existing IAM, LDAP, Active Directory, or SAML identity providers for seamless single sign-on and access control.
Private network connectivity (MPLS, VPN, dedicated links)
Connect your private cloud via MPLS, IPsec VPN, or dedicated physical links — for low-latency, secure connectivity to your organisation's network.
Internet & external service connectivity
Controlled external connectivity where required — with firewall policies, NAT, and routing managed to your specification.
Open APIs (OpenStack, standard interfaces)
Full compatibility with OpenStack APIs, standard networking and storage interfaces — ensuring your existing tooling, automation, and pipelines work from day one.
