ScaleUp’s ORv3 cloud stack available as on premise solution or hosted private cloud

ScaleUp Technologies is a German cloud and colocation provider operating 8 ISO/IEC 27001-certified data centers across Hamburg, Berlin, Düsseldorf, and Nuremberg. As an active Open Compute Project member, ScaleUp runs one of Europe’s only managed cloud platforms built entirely on OCP hardware and open-source OpenStack. No vendor lock-in. No proprietary stack. Just open infrastructure running on certified green power.

Key Benefits

• No vendor lock-in: built on OCP open hardware and OpenStack open-source software
• Full IaaS on your premises: compute, storage, and networking managed by ScaleUp
• Optional Kubernetes layer on top
• Flexible capacity: minimum starting configuration of 6 compute nodes, scales horizontally
• Deploy faster: the Rittal ORv3 ships ready-mounted with castors, busbar, and leveling feet for immediate on-site deployment
• Future-ready power: 48V DC busbar architecture reduces conduction losses and supports up to 30kW per rack for next-generation workloads
• Simplified storage management: software-defined storage balanced with Kubernetes orchestration, manageable from a single control plane
• German data sovereignty: all infrastructure hosted in ISO/IEC 27001-certified German data centers on green power, or hosted at your own location
• Hybrid-ready: extend on-premise deployment to a hybrid cloud at any time via the OpenStack API
• POC before you commit: test configurations at the ScaleUp OCP Experience Center in Berlin or Nuremberg

Tech Stack

Rack

• Rack Rittal ORv3 Open Rack
