Atlas Cloud vs Cyso Cloud
Atlas – Your Icelandic Cloud Provider
Atlas was founded to solve a critical gap in Iceland's tech ecosystem: the lack of locally-hosted, sovereign cloud infrastructure. Atlas comes out of the Startup SuperNova accelerator and is operated from green Icelandic data centers.
The Atlas Cloud is built based on CloudStack, with the service portfolio currently being built up. Basic primitives such as VMs, and storage are in place.
Cyso Cloud – 100% Dutch and independent
Cyso Cloud is an OpenStack-based cloud provider based in the Netherlands.
The Cyso Cloud service portfolio includes core Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offerings such as compute, storage, a managed Kubernetes service EMK and a transactional email service.
With its data centres in North Holland and in Frankfurt, Cyso Cloud can fulfill geo-redundancy requirements. The NEN 7510 certification for the Dutch healthcare sector can make Cyso Cloud a good choice for respective Dutch companies.
