Digital sovereignty and the future of the cloud
Digital sovereignty and open source are more than just buzzwords for us – they form the moral and ethical DNA of our company. In an increasingly connected world, it is crucial to maintain control over your own data and infrastructure. At the same time, the agility, flexibility and scalability of cloud computing are essential for many of the services we rely on in the modern economy. However, the cloud market is becoming increasingly fragmented, and current colocation or on-premise offerings often reach their limits when it comes to the specific challenges and requirements of our customers.
Flying Circus OnPrem: The cloud in your hand
With Flying Circus OnPrem, we offer an innovative solution that combines the best of both worlds. We provide you with a rack system that complies with cloud architecture – and which you own, directly in your own data centre. This means you remain independent of external providers and retain full control over your data and applications.
Optimised for your needs
"One size fits all" is not our approach. We offer a tailor-made setup that is precisely tailored to your projects and requirements. Flying Circus OnPrem is typically based on the following components:
- Compute: Elastic computing capacity provided via a flexible resource pool.
- Storage: High-performance, persistent block storage service with configurable capacity and IOPS per volume – a fully configured Ceph cluster.
- Network: Flexible network configuration for optimal performance and security.
- Backup: Reliable backup solutions for maximum data protection.
All these components can be individually tailored to your needs. Don't want to start from scratch, but rather integrate existing systems? No problem! Sustainability and the careful use of resources are very important to us. That's why we can also integrate brownfield hardware into the setup. Simply contact us and we will work with you to determine what is possible.

AI & ML through optional GPUs
Our Flying Circus OnPrem Stack brings local AI processing and GPU-powered processing directly to your data centre. The stack can be equipped with GPUs according to your requirements profile and enables LLM, ML and many other GPU-powered processing tasks to be handled locally.
Step by step to a confident cloud
1. Needs analysis
At the start of the project, we work with you to analyse your specific needs. We consider both the necessary resources (greenfield & brownfield) and the overall scope of the project. The aim is to establish a clear, shared understanding of the requirements and framework conditions.
2. Planning and quotation phase
In this phase, we develop a transparent and detailed offer. We calculate not only the implementation costs, but also the subsequent operating costs. This provides you with a reliable basis for deciding on the next steps.
3. Central component bundling
Whether greenfield (new construction) and/or brownfield (integration into existing systems) – we identify and procure all necessary hardware and software components centrally. This ensures seamless integration and avoids unnecessary interface problems and time losses.
4. Provision and setup phase
Our experienced platform team provisions and configures the entire system environment at your site. The complete stack is provided, put into operation and tailored to your requirements – efficiently, securely and reliably.
5. System handover
Once setup is complete, we will hand over the OnPrem system to you ready for operation. On request, we can accompany this step with knowledge transfer in the form of training courses and customised documentation to ensure that your teams are optimally prepared.
6. Ongoing maintenance and further development
We remain at your side even after go-live. Our platform team takes care of regular maintenance, servicing and updates for your own Flying Circus OnPrem Cloud environment – for maximum stability, security and future-proofing.
