Hosting and support.
Bechtle Cloud Services are hosted in the Tier 3/VK3 data centres Frankfurt 1 and Frankfurt 3 operated by NTT Global Data Centers. Located in the Rhine‑Main region near the major Internet exchange DE‑CIX, your data remains within Germany and is therefore protected from the US Cloud Act. If any issues arise, we are easy to reach at our 24/7 Operations Centre, which serves as your central point of contact. The team there speaks English and German and is known for excellent problem‑solving skills and rapid response times.
Security.
Your data is safe with us! Bechtle Private Cloud offers various firewall models depending on your needs. For straightforward use cases, our standard edge firewall provides essential firewall and VPN features, while for more advanced security needs, you can opt for fully managed cloud‑generation firewalls with intrusion detection and prevention systems.
The infrastructure powering your private cloud is also well protected and meets numerous certifications, including ISO 27001 (IT baseline protection), EN 50600, ISO 9001, ISAE 3402 Type 2, § 8a (3) BSIG/KRITIS and more. In addition, the C5 attestation (Cloud Computing Compliance Controls Catalogue) confirms our compliance with the Federal Office for Information Security’s minimum information security requirements.
Bechtle Cloud Services provide you with a private cloud in the form of a software‑defined data centre (SDDC). This platform virtualises traditional IT infrastructure components such as compute, storage and networking.
Compared with a traditional data centre, this enables simpler management, automated processes and more flexible provisioning of IT resources, meaning you benefit from greater agility and scalability, can respond more quickly to business requirements and ease the workload on your IT team.
If required, your resources can be mirrored in an active‑active configuration via a stretched cluster across two geographically separate locations to ensure high availability and security.
Our virtualisation hosts run on modern, high‑performance Intel® processors, including the latest scalable Intel® Xeon® generation optimised for cloud computing, real‑time analytics, business‑critical workloads and big‑data scenarios. These processors deliver fast, secure connectivity without compromising data protection, while our capacity management ensures that your virtual machines always receive the CPU performance they need.
Bechtle Cloud Services offer flexible storage types for different performance requirements. Our high‑performance storage tier uses NVMe‑like technologies to enable extremely fast data access, making it ideal for demanding workloads and real‑time applications. Alongside this, we also provide cost‑effective and secure storage options suitable for long‑term archiving. Comparable to standard HDDs, they are perfect for the compliant storage of large data volumes.
Bechtle Cloud Services offer comprehensive WAN connectivity solutions that ensure a reliable and secure link between your company locations and the cloud resources we provide. By using state‑of‑the‑art technologies, we optimise network performance and enable flexible bandwidth adjustments to match changing demands. Our solutions also include advanced security features to protect data against unauthorised access. In addition, the direct proximity to DE‑CIX allows for straightforward integration with public cloud services.
Bechtle Cloud Services offer transparent and flexible cost models that let you plan and control your IT spending efficiently. Billing is usage‑based, calculated according to the services you consume, while monthly reports give you detailed insights into your resource usage, helping you identify potential optimisation opportunities.
We offer an English and German‑speaking expert help desk that provides technical support and guidance 24/7. Our experienced specialists resolve IT issues and service requests quickly and provide proactive recommendations to optimise your cloud infrastructure.
We offer optional managed services that support you in managing and optimising your IT infrastructure. Our specialists take care of tasks such as monitoring, maintenance, security management, Exchange, Active Directory, managed SAP, operating system management and more. Benefit from tailored services that simplify operations and increase efficiency, allowing you to focus fully on your core business.
You can assemble our private cloud solution entirely according to your requirements – in terms of both hardware and services. You can choose between classic local clusters and stretched clusters. With the latter, your data is synchronously replicated across two geographically separate data centres, protecting you from data loss in the event of a site failure and ensuring high availability for your business‑critical applications and workloads. You can also select one or more performance tiers, which fall into two main categories: General Purpose for web applications, microservices, distributed stores and non‑specific workloads, and Memory Optimised for in‑memory databases, big‑data environments and data‑warehouse applications.
