More About
Cleura provides cloud infrastructure services with a focus on European data residency, regulatory compliance, and open-source technologies, targeting enterprises, software vendors, and public-sector entities that require control over data location and governance.
The company operates an OpenStack-based environment (cloud infrastructure) for its public cloud, exposing standard APIs and interfaces commonly used in OpenStack ecosystems, which facilitates integration with existing tools, automation frameworks, and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) workflows.
Cleura also offers managed private cloud and on-prem deployments (private cloud), where its engineering teams design, deploy, and operate OpenStack and related components within customer data centers or dedicated facilities, enabling organizations to run cloud-native workloads under their own physical and jurisdictional control.
A key part of its positioning is compliance and data protection (compliance and security), with services structured so that data stays within selected European regions and is subject to European legal frameworks, which can be relevant for organizations subject to GDPR and sector-specific regulatory requirements.
On top of its infrastructure layer, Cleura supports Kubernetes-based container platforms (containers and orchestration), enabling customers to run microservices and containerized applications while leveraging automated scaling, service discovery, and declarative deployment models aligned with CNCF-standard tooling.
The portfolio typically includes managed services and consulting (cloud services), covering migration from other environments, architecture design, cost and capacity planning, and ongoing operations, which can reduce the operational burden for organizations that want cloud capabilities without building deep internal expertise in OpenStack or Kubernetes.
In the broader marketplace, Cleura sits in the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and managed private cloud categories, adjacent to hyperscale public clouds but differentiated by its European jurisdiction, open-source cloud stack, and emphasis on compliance-sensitive workloads in sectors such as government, healthcare, and financial services.
For enterprise architects and infrastructure leaders, Cleura’s offerings map to domains including virtual compute, block and object storage, Software Defined Networking (SDN), identity and access management, container orchestration, and managed operations, making it suitable for hybrid and multi-cloud strategies where policy, governance, and locality of data are central design constraints.
