Private Cloud

Cloud Excellence in Danish Datacenters

Modern enterprises need cloud-native infrastructure without sacrificing data sovereignty or operational control. IS Nordic delivers the best of both worlds: the flexibility and scalability of public cloud platforms, combined with the compliance, security, and control of private infrastructure hosted in Denmark.

Whether you're looking to repatriate workloads from public cloud providers, build a hybrid cloud strategy, or establish a sovereign cloud foundation from the ground up, IS Nordic has the expertise and infrastructure to make it happen.

Azure & Azure Local Expertise

Microsoft Azure is a cornerstone of modern enterprise cloud strategy. IS Nordic's certified Azure specialists bring deep expertise in both public Azure and Azure Local (formerly Azure Stack HCI), enabling true hybrid cloud architectures that balance innovation with sovereignty.

Azure Local: Bringing Azure to Your Datacenter

Azure Local extends Azure services to on-premises infrastructure, giving you cloud-native capabilities while keeping your data under your direct control. This is particularly powerful for organizations facing strict data residency requirements or repatriation mandates.

• AKS on Azure Local: Run Azure Kubernetes Service in your own datacenter or IS Nordic's Danish facilities—solving the cloud repatriation challenge without sacrificing Kubernetes excellence
• Hybrid Identity & Governance: Seamlessly integrate on-premises and cloud resources with unified identity management and policy enforcement
• Azure Arc Integration: Manage and govern workloads across Azure, Azure Local, and other clouds from a single control plane
• Performance & Latency: Deploy compute resources closer to your data and users for optimal performance

Public Azure Services

For workloads that benefit from global scale and Azure's extensive service catalog, we design, deploy, and manage production Azure environments:

• Azure Virtual Machines, App Services, and Functions
• Azure SQL Database, Cosmos DB, and managed data services
• Azure DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure automation
• Hybrid networking with ExpressRoute and VPN Gateway

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)

As an Oracle Partner since 2000, IS Nordic has deep roots in Oracle technologies. Our certified OCI specialists bring decades of Oracle expertise to cloud infrastructure design and operations.

• Enterprise Database Workloads: Oracle Autonomous Database, RAC, and Exadata Cloud Service for mission-critical database hosting
• Lift-and-Shift Migrations: Move existing Oracle middleware and database workloads to OCI with minimal refactoring
• Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE): Production Kubernetes clusters with native integration into Oracle Cloud services
• Hybrid Cloud with Oracle: Connect your on-premises Oracle infrastructure to OCI for burst capacity, disaster recovery, or data analytics

Our Oracle heritage ensures that your transition to cloud—whether OCI, hybrid, or repatriated to private infrastructure—is smooth, optimized, and fully supported.

OpenStack & Kubernetes: Open Source Cloud Platforms

OpenStack: Production-Grade IaaS

OpenStack is the industry standard for private cloud IaaS. IS Nordic designs, deploys, and operates OpenStack clouds that provide AWS-like capabilities entirely within your control:

• On-demand virtual machine provisioning with Nova compute
• Software-defined networking with Neutron (VLANs, security groups, load balancers)
• Block and object storage with Cinder and Swift
• Multi-tenancy and role-based access control for internal chargeback models
• API compatibility with public cloud tools and automation frameworks

Kubernetes: Container Orchestration at Scale

Kubernetes is the de facto standard for modern application deployment. Whether you're running Kubernetes on OpenStack, Azure Local, OCI, or bare metal, IS Nordic provides comprehensive Kubernetes services:

• Highly available production clusters with automated failover
• GitOps-based deployment pipelines for audited change management
• Service mesh integration (Istio, Linkerd) for observability and security
• Persistent storage integration with cloud-native storage solutions
• 24/7 monitoring, alerting, and incident response by KCSP-certified engineers

Empowering Your DevOps Teams

Modern infrastructure is only valuable if your teams can use it effectively. IS Nordic's private cloud solutions are designed from the ground up to empower DevOps teams with self-service capabilities, automation, and observability.

• Self-Service Portals: Enable developers to provision infrastructure, deploy applications, and manage resources without manual ticketing
• Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Ansible, and Kubernetes manifests for declarative, version-controlled infrastructure management
• CI/CD Integration: Seamless integration with GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and other pipeline tools
• Observability & Monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, and cloud-native monitoring solutions for complete visibility
• Security & Compliance: Policy-as-code, vulnerability scanning, and compliance automation built into every deployment

By reducing friction and increasing automation, we enable your DevOps teams to move faster while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability and security.

Why Private Cloud in Danish Datacenters?
