5 reasons why you should choose Cyso Cloud!

There are more European cloud providers in the world. But why should you choose Cyso Cloud to be your cloud? Is it because of our high standards? Or because of our Tech-to-Tech support? We'll give you 5 reasons, but we could give you more.

1. Your data stays in Europe

Why does data location matter?

European data protection laws exist for good reason. GDPR sets standards that protect individuals and organisations alike. But hosting data in European data centres doesn't automatically mean compliance with these standards.

American companies operating European facilities still fall under US jurisdiction. The US CLOUD Act permits American authorities to access data stored anywhere globally, regardless of physical server location. Microsoft and Google building Dutch data centres doesn't change their legal obligations under American law. This is one of the reasons of why the Dutch government has decided to halt public sector cloud migrations to US providers.

Cyso Cloud operates as a 100% Dutch organisation under European law. Our infrastructure remains in Dutch data centres, and European cloud regulations govern every aspect of our operations. ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certifications validate our security practices and procedures.

Cloud data privacy means more than encryption and access controls. It means freedom from foreign surveillance laws, predictable legal frameworks, and genuine control over your information. EU cloud infrastructure provides this foundation.

2. OpenStack means real freedom

Vendor lock-in doesn't happen overnight. It accumulates gradually through proprietary APIs, custom services, and architectural decisions that tie you to a single provider. Reversing these decisions becomes expensive quickly.

Cyso Cloud runs on OpenStack, a fully open source cloud platform. Unlike AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, OpenStack uses standard APIs and protocols. Your applications, data, and infrastructure configurations remain portable. Migrating to another OpenStack provider requires planning but not architectural redesign.

This freedom matters practically. Negotiating better terms becomes possible when switching providers remains feasible. Compliance requirements change, and being able to relocate workloads without vendor permission provides operational flexibility.

European cloud infrastructure built on open standards protects long-term interests better than proprietary platforms ever can.

3. Enterprise-grade availability built in

Reliability isn't optional for production workloads. Cyso Cloud's platform design prioritises stability and performance from the ground up. Our 99.99% uptime SLA reflects this architectural approach rather than marketing aspiration.

Three availability zones enable redundant deployments. Applications can survive entire zone failures without service interruption. Proactive monitoring detects issues before they impact operations, and automated failover mechanisms activate when needed.

Our status page provides real-time visibility into platform health.

4. Support that understands your needs

Cloud platforms provide infrastructure, but organisations need guidance. Cyso Cloud's support model differs from typical managed service approaches. We provide direct access to engineers who understand both OpenStack architecture and practical deployment challenges.

Starting with cloud infrastructure often means experimenting first. Our platform supports this through free tier environments suitable for testing and prototyping. Share configurations with colleagues and clients easily. Managed Kubernetes deployments support production applications when you're ready to scale.

Development and DevOps teams receive support through dedicated Slack channels. Ask questions directly, share configurations, and get responses from people who actually work on the platform.

5. Pricing without surprises

Cloud billing complexity serves provider interests, not customer needs. Unpredictable IOPS charges, data egress fees, and tiered support costs create budgeting nightmares. Organisations can't optimise what they can't predict.

Cyso Cloud's pricing model works differently. Select your configuration and see actual costs immediately. We don't charge for IOPS activities. Object storage costs remain predictable per gigabyte stored.

Data transfer within our network doesn't incur charges. Only egress to external networks gets billed, and these rates appear clearly on our pricing page. Scale resources up or down through our dashboard and watch costs adjust in real time.

European cloud pricing should reflect European business values; transparency, fairness, and predictability.

Choose European cloud infrastructure

Cloud decisions shape organisations for years. Choosing European cloud infrastructure means choosing data sovereignty, regulatory predictability, and genuine vendor independence. These advantages matter now and will matter more as digital regulation evolves.

Cyso Cloud provides EU cloud infrastructure built for European requirements. From GDPR compliance through OpenStack portability to transparent pricing, our platform supports organisations that take cloud data privacy seriously.
