Aruba
EU verifiedItaly's leading cloud and hosting provider with its own data centers – a European alternative for cloud, hosting and domains.
Aruba S.p.A. is Italy's leading cloud, hosting and data-center operator, based near Bergamo (not to be confused with HPE Aruba Networking). Founded in 1994, it offers cloud servers, web hosting, domains and trust services such as certified email (PEC), and operates its own ISO 27001-certified data centers – including the tightly coupled IT1/IT2 in Arezzo. As a European provider with its own infrastructure, Aruba is a sovereignty-friendly alternative to the US hyperscalers, especially for cloud servers, hosting and domains with EU data storage.
