Frequently Asked Questions About the plusserver Partner Program – FAQ
The plusserver Partner Program is designed for IT service providers, managed service providers and integrators that want to offer and scale cloud services independently. Rather than traditional reselling, the focus is on building sovereign cloud and managed service business models on an open platform.
The Partner Program is particularly suitable for:
- IT service providers with established on-premises or hybrid environments
- Managed service providers looking to expand their service business
- Integrators focused on cloud, security or compliance
- Partners serving regulated or security-critical customers
plusserver deliberately takes a different approach from international hyperscalers:
- Open technologies instead of proprietary platforms
- Operations under German law and in German data centers
- No structural dependence on vendor lock-in
- High transparency in architecture, operations and data processing
For partners, this means greater control, stronger arguments when serving sensitive customers and long-term flexibility.
Partners gain access to an integrated cloud portfolio, including:
- Dedicated servers and traditional infrastructure
- Open cloud platforms based on OpenStack
- Kubernetes environments for containerized workloads
- VMware-based platforms for existing enterprise scenarios
This enables meaningful combinations of legacy, hybrid and cloud models.
With pluscloud VMware as Infrastructure as a Service, plusserver manages everything related to infrastructure operations. You can focus on what you want to run on the infrastructure while we keep the infrastructure itself up to date.
Need additional services beyond the provision of pluscloud VMware? We can also actively support your IT modernization on request.
- Consulting: We accompany you on your digital journey, taking any existing legacy hardware into account. Our experts can advise you on the possibilities for your individual architecture, including which additional services would be useful extensions. For example, you can increase the availability of your local VMware setups with a disaster recovery scenario.
- Onboarding: Take advantage of our structured onboarding for your pluscloud VMware environment if needed. We are happy to help you personally set up your optimal cloud environment in a two-hour workshop. Our experts explain the key steps and features and address your specific requirements.
- Service & Support: Our own service and support team is available 24/7 to provide personal, expert assistance whenever operational issues arise.
Yes. On request, plusserver can take over cloud and platform service operations in whole or in part. This includes standardized operational processes, automation and 24/7 support from certified German-speaking specialists.
This relieves the workload on partner teams and reduces pressure caused by skills shortages.

- In German data centers
- Under German and European law
- In compliance with GDPR
- In alignment with requirements such as NIS2, KRITIS and DORA
Partners can integrate security and compliance services directly into their portfolios without having to build their own 24/7 operations.

Digital sovereignty, data control and auditability play a central role.
The Partner Program is specifically designed to support managed service business models. Partners benefit from:
- Standardized cloud, storage and security components
- Pay-per-use billing
- Highly available architectures that support SLAs
This makes it easier to industrialize services quickly and plan them economically.
plusserver supports partners not only technically but also in reaching the market:

- A joint go-to-market approach
- Technical enablement and architecture consulting
- A wide range of supporting marketing and sales materials
