Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):
use the latest technologies as the basis for your IT landscape
Our IaaS portfolio offers state-of-the-art, flexibly scalable solutions from public or private cloud services to Infrastructure as Code. You can choose whether to self-administer a complete virtual data center via a portal or only use individual computer, storage, or network components, such as cloud storage based on a Ceph object storage with an S3-compatible API.
We provide you with complete virtual data centers based on OpenStack or noris Enterprise Cloud (VMware). Web interfaces or APIs enable you to configure your development, test / quality assurance, and production systems (EWU, Test, and Prod) in both quantitative and qualitative terms and to provision them immediately.
This is the future of modern enterprise IT!
Pay as you go: noris network cloud points
Technical scalability requires billing systems that are just as flexible. We offer you an innovative pay-as-you-go billing scheme that is based on “noris network cloud points”. You purchase noris network cloud points and can then use them flexibly. Your noris network cloud point balance will then be debited depending on the component, quality and period of use of IaaS products you have chosen – each change in configuration will be registered and charged automatically. This provides you with flexible, on-demand scalability also in terms of cost – upward and downward.

What is special about the noris Enterprise Cloud?
With the noris Enterprise Cloud, you can control your IT setup automated via the API, e.g. by Terraform. This eliminates the need for time-consuming and errorsensitive manual configuration. If you want to roll out your setup to another location or even to another provider, this can be done with limited effort. Vendor lock-in is a thing of the past. You thus profit from a uniform and flexible platform for the management of your cloud environments. This offers you reliable configuration options, current features, IaC approaches and insights into your setup. Even the integration of legacy systems or hyperscalers are possible through appropriate connectivity.
Design your setups with the highest possible availability! With the noris Enterprise Cloud, you can build your setup across the Nuremberg and Munich regions with a latency of less than 2 ms distributed across locations. In the metro area between Nuremberg South and Nuremberg Center, virtual servers are even possible with native synchronization. This gives you the highest availability of Active-Active-Clusters and fulfills the BSI recommendation regarding the ban mile without any problems and with little effort. All systems are hosted in our high-security data centers in Germany. You keep full data sovereignty and enjoy maximum investment protection. Of course, 100% of the operation is carried out by our certified employees.
The virtual infrastructure is operated in our German data centers, which are certified, highly secure and sustainable. We are also happy to connect your existing systems in the cloud to our data centers.
All resources are billed using our popular cloud points model. Resources are calculated hourly, giving you the flexibility to move within your quota. Unpredictable costs such as storage traffic or operators are not generated and are included in the price as a fixed amount. This means you retain full cost control with complete transparency!
How is the noris Enterprise Cloud structured?
The architecture is based on a Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) in a VMware Cloud verified design and is operated according to BSI C5 criteria. With your own access to the self-service portal, you can centrally control and flexibly scale your cloud environments. This means that storage, network, load balancer, firewall and all compute resources and your backup can be managed centrally on one platform. Your backup is stored in another highly secure noris data center. As a result, the complexity is reduced and the effort for your administration is optimized.
Use our noris Enterprise Cloud – free up time for other core tasks and adapt your systems elastically to requirements!

The noris Enterprise Cloud Private according to your requirements – scalable and flexible!
The noris Enterprise Cloud Private is based on a Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) in a VMware Cloud verified design and is operated according to BSI C5 criteria. By default this consists of a cluster with dedicated hosts as standard, which can optionally be supplemented according to your requirements.
You can manage the configurations of your setup in your noris Enterprise Cloud Private directly via self-service. For example, you can control the network, storage, load balancer and firewall both via API and GUI. This saves you time and gives you maximum flexibility!
With the nEC Private, we support Infrastructure as Code (IaC). This allows you to control your IT setup automatically via the API, e.g. using Terraform. Time-consuming and error-prone manual configuration is no longer necessary. You benefit from a uniform and flexible platform for the management of your dedicated cloud environments. If you wish, we can also provide you with two site-distributed clusters in Nuremberg and Munich with a latency of less than 2 ms for the noris Enterprise Cloud Private. This allows you to set up fault-tolerant active-active clusters and comply with the BSI’s recommendation regarding the ban mile.
You retain full data sovereignty and enjoy maximum investment protection. All components are operated by our certified professionals and are connected to the world’s largest Internet nodes with high performance.
The accounting of your hosts is done via a monthly flat rate. If you want to use additional shared resources such as external storage or backup, this can be managed automatically via our cloud points model. This way you only pay for what you actually use and have full control over your costs.

Cloud Storage
Secure, flexible and available: The Object Storage from noris network
IT system planners and architects know that predictions about the amount of data, files, performance and thus the nature of the storage system can never be really accurate. Small changes in the software quickly ensure that more storage or performance is needed soon than expected. A scalable solution with a pay-as-you-grow billing model is the best choice for maximum investment protection.
As a modern company, you depend on being able to record, store and analyze your data simply, quickly and securely at any time. Cloud storage from noris network provides you with highly redundant object storage for storing and retrieving any amount of data from your business applications. Many of our security-conscious customers have relied on our cloud storage for years and have not been disappointed. Our object storage meets the most stringent legal requirements and gives you the flexibility to manage data for cost optimization, access control and compliance. Our cloud storage offers an S3-compatible interface, giving you the functionality you expect from state-of-the-art object storage.
What you want, how you want and when you want!
With cloud storage from noris network, your storage can be scaled as required. And: At noris network you use the latest storage technologies. Object-based Ceph systems that you can access easily and flexibly via an S3-compatible API. So you always have the storage space your systems and employees need.
The perfect destination for your backup
You have an application (e.g. in our noris cloud based on OpenStack) with S3 interface and want to store your data in a secure, remote location? With cloud storage from noris network, you can store the data from your backups, development environments and large amounts of data from virtualization environments or databases on a highly redundant storage solution in Germany.
The technology
noris network cloud storage is an object storage cluster based on Ceph, distributed over three of our certified high-security data centers. In contrast to block storage, in which the application manages the data blocks, individual objects are stored and made separately accessible. In contrast to file storage, the file system for managing the data is omitted, since each object has its own address. Self-healing redundancy mechanisms ensure maximum storage availability. Of course, all data remains within Germany. The S3-compatible interface, which has meanwhile become a de facto standard, reduces the effort for integration into your application. This way you can make your data easy and conveniently secure and highly available.
It couldn’t be simpler and more modern. Combine state-of-the-art cloud technologies with the flexibility of noris network as an innovative, competent provider of cloud services
