Behind CloudFire services, there are real people ready to help.
We are a team of engineers, developers, and specialists who have chosen to build an Italian cloud—sovereign, reliable, and designed to be a true, accessible partner that understands you and your infrastructure.
A cloud built on expertise and people
The cloud has become essential infrastructure, yet for too many Italian companies, using it means entrusting their data to distant providers who are never there when you need them. We have chosen a different path: an accessible cloud under your control—Italian-made, built on expertise and human connection. We design and provide powerful, scalable cloud infrastructure and services with the same care we would use for ourselves. We aim to become the leading cloud provider in Europe, contributing to the cloud-native community every single day.
English
Your data should stay where you can control it.
Sovereign
Compliance is built into the design, not added as an afterthought.
Made by people
When it really matters, there is someone on the other end ready to answer.
Our Story
The origins, before CloudFire
From Rivebit to our first rack, we designed our initial data centers and then personally installed our first rack in Caldera: Ceph storage, KVM hypervisors, backups, and virtualization. That is where it all began.
Introducing CloudFire and Cortex
With the arrival of our first investors, Rivebit became CloudFire. At the OpenStack Summit in Boston, we chose open source as our path, leading to the creation of our first self-service platform and a new identity to go with it.
Public Cloud and Growth
We are launching our Public Cloud on OpenStack, featuring multi-tier storage and new regions. We are also establishing our Sales department, launching a Partner program, and introducing Unified Communication services. We are growing on every front.
Automation and certificates
Automation is taking center stage. With a new headquarters, ISO 9001 and security certifications now officially in place, we are launching new as-a-Service offerings and have secured ACN certification to work with the Public Administration.
Sovereign cloud and the future
We are pushing toward a fully sovereign cloud: new Italian regions, OpenStack as a Service, and cloud-native goals. This is where we are headed, working together and constantly evolving as a team.
Four principles that guide every decision we make
Passion
We work with the cloud because we love to innovate and strive for excellence.
Responsibility
Your data and infrastructure are serious business: we treat them as if they were our own.
Transparency
Transparent pricing, defined SLAs, and no billing surprises.
Proximity
A single point of contact who knows you. When you call, there’s a real person on the other end.
