Atlas Cloud vs ELASTX

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.

ELASTX – The Swedish Cloud Provider

ELASTX is a Swedish cloud provider operating three data centers located within the Stockholm metropolitan area.

Their service portfolio includes core Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offerings such as compute, storage, database, and networking solutions. In addition, ELASTX provides a managed Kubernetes service to support containerized applications.

What sets ELASTX apart is their commitment to delivering tailored, bespoke solutions in close collaboration with their clients.
