Infomaniak Public Cloud is the infrastructure-as-a-service offering of Infomaniak Group SA, the independent Swiss technology company founded in Geneva in 1994 by Boris Siegenthaler and Fabian Lucchi — one of the longest-running independent European hosting companies, privately held and founder-led with no venture-capital or private-equity investors on the cap table (the kdrive listing documents the same vendor in full). The cloud product is a standards-based OpenStack public cloud: compute instances billed by the hour, block and object storage, managed Kubernetes, managed databases, and GPU instances for AI/ML workloads, accessible via the OpenStack API and Terraform. Alongside it Infomaniak sells VPS (from roughly €3/month), shared and managed web hosting, and managed cloud servers — a full ladder from a single small VPS up to OpenStack-orchestrated production estates.
For an EU-sovereignty audit this is among the most defensible Swiss IaaS listings in the directory. Infomaniak designs, builds, and fully operates its own Swiss data centres in Geneva — there is no hyperscaler underneath, the software stack is developed in-house, and all customer data stays on Swiss-located infrastructure under Infomaniak's direct control. The compliance footprint is broad: ISO/IEC 27001 (since June 2018), ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental), ISO 50001 (energy), and B Corp certification (2025). Switzerland holds an EU adequacy decision under Art. 45 GDPR, so transfers EU↔CH are SCC-free, and the latest data centre recycles 100% of its consumed electricity as heat into a local district-heating network warming roughly 6,000 homes a year — among the most genuinely sustainable hosting operations in Europe.
Because OpenStack is an open standard, there is no proprietary lock-in at the orchestration layer — workloads are portable to any other OpenStack cloud (OVHcloud, Cleura, and others in this category). Pricing is transparent and usage-based: compute billed by the second/hour, object storage per GB, VPS on flat monthly tiers from ~€4. Best fit: Swiss and EU organisations that want a genuine Swiss-jurisdiction public cloud rather than a US hyperscaler's EU region; regulated and public-sector buyers needing data-residency and adequacy clarity; and teams that value an independent founder-led vendor running its own sustainable infrastructure. Together with Exoscale, Infomaniak completes the directory's Swiss-sovereignty IaaS shortlist.
