Atlas Cloud vs Nine

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.

Nine – Swiss-made Cloud Mastery

Nine is an application platform by Nine Internet Solutions in Switzerland. While Nine Internet Solutions offers classic colocation and managed hosting solutions, the distinctive product is the Deploio application engine.

Nine is currently brought to the world from two data centers in the Zürich region in Switzerland.
