Atlas Cloud vs STACKIT

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.

STACKIT – The German business cloud

STACKIT is the public cloud brand of Schwarz Digits, backed by the Schwarz group, the largest retail company in Europe, based in Germany.

STACKIT has very high momentum, with new services being added at a high pace. The service portfolio and partnerships, e.g. with ServiceNow and Salesforce for Tableau, make STACKIT an attractive choice for enterprises in the DACH region.
