Since its early days, UpCloud’s passion has been to offer the best performance and reliability in cloud hosting services. “Our vision is to create a global success story based on unparalleled technology and product development. We decided very early on, to start developing our own technology and to push the limits of what is possible in the modern cloud-computing era”, says Joel Pihlajamaa, the company’s founder and Chief Technology Officer.
Pihlajamaa’s belief in this founding idea has paid off – today the company provides clients with services from data centres based in the UK, USA, Germany and Finland. “We have gained our clients’ trust with our rock solid professional attitude, unyielding ambition and profound technical know-how. We are particularly proud of our world-class customer satisfaction. The latest NPS score of 70 speaks for itself”, says Antti Vilpponen, UpCloud CEO.
“Performance is the factor that makes UpCloud unique among its competitors.”
Both Pihlajamaa and Vilpponen have an extensive experience within the hosting business. “The same goes with our personnel. Most of our team have been working in this field for more than 10 years”, Pihlajamaa adds.
#1 in performance
“Performance is the factor that makes UpCloud unique among its competitors. No other European company can achieve the same”, says Pihlajamaa. Furthermore, UpCloud’s performance did not go unnoticed in Cloud Spectator’s European performance comparison; in which the company ranked as #1 for performance among the top cloud hosting providers. UpCloud beat such international giants as Google, Amazon and Microsoft Azure, and
was crowned the performance leader in all categories and showed significant reliability across the board. “We take this recognition with pride and believe developers around Europe will value it as well, further helping our international expansion”, Vilpponen says with a smile.
UpCloud plans to launch two new data centres this year: one in Europe and the other in Asia. “Also, we are steadily recruiting new talent, and plan to triple our personnel within a year. This will provide us with the extra hands to develop our services further. I believe we are one of the most interesting companies in the cloud computing space for the talented workforce in Europe right now”, Vilpponen says.
