2025 09 24 clever cloud banniere blog ionos en
IONOS, the leading European digitalisation Partner and trusted cloud enabler, supports Clever Cloud, a European Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) provider, to open a new availability zone (AZ) in London. This collaboration enables Clever Cloud to establish a physical presence in the UK market.

A new region and a new market for Clever Cloud

This is the first step in a smart  partnership with IONOS:

For Clever Cloud, it represents a full operational entry into the UK market, with local hosting, improved latency, regulatory compliance, and closer proximity to customers.

IONOS now hosts Clever Cloud’s application delivery solution on its infrastructure. This ensures the highest security standards and DUAA compliance, as well as maximum data control, scalability and reliability.

Concrete benefits for developers and organizations
By combining IONOS’s infrastructure strength with Clever Cloud’s developer-centric platform, the partnership delivers a unique European “full stack” solution.

  • For developers: faster deployments, frictionless scaling, and a simplified experience that lets them focus on building applications instead of managing infrastructure.
  • For organizations: the ability to innovate quickly while maintaining sovereignty over their data, with guaranteed compliance, performance, and trusted European hosting.
    Together, Clever Cloud and IONOS provide speed, simplicity, and security without compromise.

A shared vision for an independent European digital ecosystem

Clever Cloud shares the same ambitions as IONOS: to build a strong, resilient, and independent European digital ecosystem. Together, they champion a vision of cloud infrastructure based on transparency, interoperability, regulatory compliance, and control over the technological value chain.
