IONOS Cloud: European cloud provider

Which cloud provider is the best choice?

Many European organizations are feeling increasingly cautious about storing their sensitive data in U.S.-controlled clouds, given the current geopolitical context. However, European alternatives do exist.

As a Red Hat partner, we place particular importance on ensuring that these European alternatives align as closely as possible with Red Hat. For instance, the German cloud provider IONOS is fully Red Hat certified.

Over the past two years, Red Hat itself has invested heavily in the collaboration with IONOS, precisely to ensure that the solutions are fully optimized for integration. This convinced us of the synergy between Red Hat and IONOS to the extent Piros has entered into our own partnership with IONOS.

Is a sovereign cloud actually necessary?

In the current geopolitical context, you can never be sure. But you definitely don’t want to find yourself in a situation where your company suddenly loses access to cloud services because the U.S. government has decided to block access. If you stop and think about that risk for a moment, you quickly come to the conclusion that we really do need to move toward a sovereign cloud. And the best possible EMEA-based protection for data and AI models today is the partnership between Red Hat and IONOS.

IONOS Cloud is particularly well suited for:

Organisations prioritising European data sovereignty
Businesses looking for a cost-effective alternative to hyperscale cloud providers
Companies modernizing applications with Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies
Enterprises with strict compliance and security requirements
Public sector organizations and regulated industries requiring transparent governance.
