Self-service, end to end

Everything you would email a hosting company for, you do yourself.

Shoco Cloud is built so a developer, an IT manager or an agency can run their own infrastructure at any hour, without asking anyone.

Typical local hosting

Ask, wait, repeat

  1. Email asking for a server
  2. Wait for a quote
  3. Sign, pay, wait for setup
  4. Email again to add a disk or open a port

What you can run

The building blocks of a real cloud, close to home.

Servers

Linux virtual machines on KVM, from s1.small upward. Resize as you grow.

Block storage

Disks on Ceph, with every block replicated three times. Attach, detach and snapshot at will.

Object storage

S3-compatible buckets for backups, media and files. Works with the tools you already use.

Private networking

Isolated networks and VPCs for each project, with your own firewall rules and public IPs.

Load balancing and VPN

Spread traffic across servers, and connect your office or another cloud over site-to-site VPN.

API, CLI and Terraform

Everything in the console is also in the API. Automate with the CLI or Terraform. Kubernetes coming

Why a local cloud

The big clouds are in Virginia. Your customers are here.

Data residency

Your data is stored and processed in Aruba, which keeps conversations with banks, regulators and government clients simple.

A short hop

Your users reach servers on the island instead of a data centre a continent away.

Local money

Pricing and invoices in the currencies you already work in, without card surprises or foreign exchange fees.

People you can call

Support in the languages you speak, in your time zone, from people who know the market.

Regions

How it starts

Three steps, all of them yours.

  1. Create your account

    Sign up online and set up a project for your team or your first client.

  2. Launch what you need

    Pick an image and a size, add storage and networking, and you are live.

  3. Pay for what ran

    Usage is metered by the hour. Stop a server and it stops costing compute.

Be one of the first teams on the island's own cloud.

The Aruba pilot is open to a small group of companies, agencies and developers. Tell us what you want to run, and we will set you up.
