Our cloud features for your requirements
Data Center Designer
1&1 makes it easy to use IaaS: use the patented Data Center Designer (DCD) to create and deploy your virtual data centre in a matter of minutes. The Cloud REST API lets you automate operations. SDKs, tutorials, and best practices from the DevOps community facilitate effective use of the cloud.
API automation
Use a modern cloud REST API for the quick and simple configuration of your server, data storage, and network connections. Dedicated migration paths ensure easy integration of your current IT environments.de.
S3 Object Storage
Object Storage, a highly scalable, cost-efficient solution that is fully compliant with the S3 standard, lets you store large volumes of unstructured, static data (e.g. archives, backups, multimedia files, raw material for big data analyses) for permanent safekeeping or downstream use. S3 Object Storage is easy to integrate via API, and stored objects can be accessed and loaded at any time by http. There are guarantees in place to ensure that the data is stored in compliance with data privacy requirements and that users are able to choose the storage location. Authentication methods applied by the user for secure data encryption are taken into account.
Backup solution
The powerful and versatile backup solution by Compute Engine allows you to theoretically store unlimited quantities of data in German data centres, that offer comprehensive security in accordance with ISO 27001 certification. You can easily restore complete systems, files, database elements or applications at any time. Data cables with capacities of up to 10 Gbit/s guarantee smooth transmissions, even for full backups.
Future-proof virtualisation
You benefit from the Compute Engine’s powerful, kernel-based virtualisation technology without any over provisioning or over commitment. The fully dedicated computing power of the CPUs is at your disposal, as a virtual CPU in the Compute Engine always delivers the same performance as a physical processor core.
High performance networking
We offer you unbeatable flexibility and speed thanks to highly-efficient software defined networking for simple network configuration and management. Combined with InfiniBand — a network technology from the field of high-performance computing — we are able to deliver transmission rates of up to 80 Gbit/s.
Dedicated performance
Thanks to different data centre locations in Germany and the United States as well as mirrored systems, your servers are optimally protected against failure. Our security measures, quality-driven IT services (ITIL/ITS), and extensive service level agreements ensure that your IT infrastructure is up and running smoothly at all times.
Storage with dual redundancy
Our reliable cloud storage with dual redundancy as HDD/SSD block storage and the S3 Object Storage offer you affordable, flexible, and scalable solutions that are perfect for any application scenario – hosted in US and German data centres with uncompromising data protection.
Live Vertical Scaling
It’s entirely up to you how much RAM, processor power, and hard drive storage you want to work with. There are no prefab packages — resources are freely selectable and can be scaled up without interruption at any time (live vertical scaling). This means you only pay for the services you actually need.
Use-based costs
The simple pricing model for the Compute Engine is based on 4 price parameters (cores, RAM, storage, traffic) within a pay-as-you-go system and per-minute billing. This means that costs are transparent and easy to calculate, even when your requirements change often. Contact us for a detailed quotation or use our price calculator for a quick and reliable estimate of what your virtual data centre is likely to cost.
No fixed contract periods
You benefit from a convincing price/performance ratio and a transparent pricing model with per-minute billing and no contractual commitment. Save up to 20% compared to on-premises operation. There is no contractual commitment, so you can also downscale your resources at any time.
24/7 SysAdmin support
We offer first-class SysAdmin support 24/7 to ensure professional technical assistance with a contact partner for the customer. Our customer service is user friendly, and your concerns will be dealt with exclusively by system administrators with years of practical experience
Professional cloud consulting
