Cloud Native Infrastructure, 100% Swiss

Exclusively in Switzerland. Hikube synchronously replicates your data across 3 geographically distinct Swiss datacenters, guaranteeing high availability and resilience in case of a disaster at any site. No data transits through foreign servers, including backups, logs and monitoring metrics.

We are ISO 27001 certified, fully compliant with the LPD (2023 revision) and GDPR. Our datacenters run on renewable energy and meet Tier III+ standards. Our entire technical team is based in Geneva and subject to Swiss law. Data residency attestations are available on request for your auditors.

Hikube offers the same essential services (Managed Kubernetes, VMs, S3, managed databases, GPU as a Service) but with key differences. Your data stays in Switzerland, replicated across 3 datacenters with a 99.99% SLA. You talk directly to CKA-certified engineers in Geneva who know your environment, not a chatbot or an offshore call center.

The billing model is transparent, with no hidden data transfer fees or API request charges. A client who was spending CHF 3,200/month on AWS for equivalent workloads now pays CHF 1,800/month on Hikube, with better support and LPD compliance included.

Hidora is a CNCF Silver Member and KCSP, which guarantees our platform meets global Kubernetes ecosystem standards. This independence from hyperscalers also protects you from unilateral pricing changes or terms of service shifts that are beyond your control.

Yes, entirely. Hikube is built on CNCF open-source technologies: certified Kubernetes, Terraform for Infrastructure as Code, Helm for packaging, Prometheus and Grafana for observability. No vendor lock-in: your Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts and Terraform modules work identically on any other CNCF-compatible provider.

If you decide to migrate, you take your configurations with you without any modifications. Hidora is a KCSP and CNCF Silver Member, guaranteeing our compliance with ecosystem standards.

We also contribute to the open-source projects we use, ensuring the longevity of the technologies that underpin your infrastructure.

In practice, this means your internal teams work with standard tools they already know, without any learning curve tied to proprietary solutions. You keep full portability of your stack, regardless of the future of your relationship with Hidora.

Yes. The same Hikube platform can be installed on your own infrastructure (VMware, bare-metal or private cloud). The Hidora team handles the full installation in 2 to 4 weeks, initial configuration, regular updates and ongoing maintenance. This option suits organizations with strict security or compliance requirements that prohibit external hosting. You get the same experience and same support as on Hikube cloud, with full control over hardware and networking.

Billing is based on resources actually consumed (CPU, RAM, storage, bandwidth), measured hourly. Auto-scaling adjusts your resources in real time: you only pay for what you use. Key points: - No hidden data transfer fees or API request charges - Built-in dashboard for real-time spending by environment and service - Monthly billing with detailed statement - 10 to 20% discounts for 12 or 24-month commitments

As an indication, a production Kubernetes cluster with 3 workers starts at approximately CHF 500/month. A free trial is available to test the platform before committing.

Yes. Hikube provides S3-compatible object storage: existing buckets, ACLs, multipart uploads and clients (aws-cli, boto3, MinIO client) work without code changes. Storage is replicated across Swiss datacenters and compliant with FADP and GDPR, with no hidden egress fees.

Yes. Hikube GPU as a Service provides access to NVIDIA GPUs (notably H100, A100, L40S) from dedicated VMs or Kubernetes pods via the NVIDIA device plugin. Typical use cases: training open-source LLMs, fine-tuning, high-performance inference, scientific compute. Data stays in Switzerland, a guarantee hyperscalers don't offer for GPU workloads.

Yes. Hikube Cloud Instances offers Linux VMs (Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky) and Windows Server with flexible vCPU, RAM and storage sizing. Provisioning via dashboard, REST API or Terraform provider. Snapshots, backups and hot resize included.

Hikube provides managed PostgreSQL, MySQL and Redis: fast provisioning, automatic failover, regular backups, integrated monitoring. For streaming workloads, managed Kafka and RabbitMQ are also available. Root access remains available for advanced use cases (PostgreSQL extensions, custom MySQL modules).

In most cases, yes. Kubernetes workloads (manifests, Helm charts) are portable as-is. S3 buckets, PostgreSQL/MySQL/Redis databases and EC2 instances have direct equivalents on Hikube. AWS-specific services (Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, IAM) need rewriting to their open-source equivalents (Knative, MongoDB or PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Keycloak), typically handled by Hidora in a multi-week migration engagement.
