Cloud computing for your business
Whether for your temporary test environment, to handle peak loads or for scalability at the press of a button – our Managed Cloud is perfect for the success of your online business model. We only host your data in our data centres in Germany - close to you - or in the Microsoft Cloud with German data custodians.
Operate servers individually as virtual instances, while still utilising all the advantages of a redundant and high-performing service architecture. Additional appliances such as firewalls, load balancers, CDN or DDoS mitigation increase accessibility and security. A private connection to a dedicated infrastructure is also possible.
Use Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and gain access to a huge pool of resources which allows you to flexibly react to current market situations at all times. Thanks to flexible conditions such as a short minimum term, you can add cloud servers as necessary. You only pay for the service and duration used.
Overview of the cloud models
With all cloud solutions, you can decide for yourself how PlusServer handles management – from the IaaS platform to the application level.
-
- Public Cloud
- As much as you need and exactly when you need it, the Public Cloud provides you with fast resource capacities, services and more. The cloud infrastructure is shared with other customers. Billing is based on use (pay-per-use).
-
- Private Cloud
- Secured performance, reliable security and planable costs: these are all included in the Private Cloud. You will receive a dedicated cloud infrastructure whose resources you can freely allocate. The best choice for sensitive data and high compliance requirements.
-
- Hybrid Cloud
- The Hybrid Cloud offers the best of all worlds with a mixture of stability, compliance, scalability and flexibility. A Hybrid Cloud solution is ideal for handling seasonal peaks and provides the best infrastructure for each workload.
-
- Multi-Cloud
- If cloud computing uses different providers, this is referred to as a Multi-Cloud solution. In contrast to the Hybrid Cloud, however, the individual resources are not centrally managed and an automatic load overflow, for example, is not possible.
-
- Technology
- PlusServer offers you Public Cloud products based on Microsoft Azure or VMware vCloud. Elasticity, scalability and flexibility are the main focus. In addition, solutions are also possible using a German location – in the PlusServer data centres or via Microsoft Azure Germany.
-
- Technology
- Your Private Cloud will store your data in a PlusServer data centre in your region. This will allow you to benefit from the lowest latencies to your own servers or other resources at PlusServer. You may use either Microsoft Hyper-V or VMware vSphere as the basic technology.
-
- Technology
- PlusServer develops hybrid setups with Private or Public Cloud resources. For example, different VMware products or dedicated resources (servers) can be used. Because all resources are integrated into the same networks, they can interact seamlessly.
-
- Technology
- The technological approach of the Multi-Cloud is similar to that of the Hybrid Cloud. They take advantage of different cloud technologies to create a multi-dimensional setup.

Cloud in Germany
With large international cloud providers, you often do not know precisely where your data is stored. If you wish, we will only store your data in our highly secure, certified data centres in Germany. With Microsoft Azure Germany we also offer access to a hyperscale cloud, which is also hosted on German soil.
Since our company is also located in Germany, you can be absolutely certain that only German law applies, e.g. with regard to data protection. We are already fulfilling the requirements of the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which comes into effect on 25 May 2018.
We also offer security options such as DDoS-Mitigation and firewalls so as to provide your data in the cloud with the best possible protection against internet attacks. Simply tell us your requirements regarding data security and data protection – we will be happy to advise you.

Eight reasons to choose the cloud
You do not need your own server hardware: this corresponds to savings in procurement and maintenance.
You do not need your own specialist staff: this will save on human resources.
You do not need to enter into negotiations with hardware and software providers: cloud providers offer significantly better value conditions through economies of scale.
You no longer have to fear peak times and seasonal fluctuations: cloud resources offer short terms and rapid delivery times.
Outdated systems are a thing of the past: the cloud provider always ensures the latest hardware and applications.
Unlimited possibilities: the cloud offers a very wide pool of resources, so that the company’s IT can continually grow.
Wide variety of cloud products: in addition to private and public clouds, Hybrid Cloud solutions offer the possibility of seamlessly integrating dedicated or proprietary hardware.
Managed services and personal support: decision-makers are unburdened, as the cloud provider is there to provide support at all times.
