Across Europe, organizations are rethinking how they build, scale and sustain data center infrastructure to meet today’s compute, energy and data privacy requirements. Ampere® processors are emerging as the architecture of choice for companies that demand predictable performance, operational efficiency and substantially improved energy consumption.

As regional cloud leaders such as Hetzner, Scaleway, IONOS and GleSYS expand access to Arm-based offerings, more organizations across the continent are following suit, putting Ampere into production for everything from cloud hosting to private enterprise applications to high-scale security services.

Infomaniak (Switzerland): Raising the Bar for Sustainable Cloud

Infomaniak — Switzerland’s largest independent cloud and hosting provider — needed a way to scale its public cloud storage while maintaining strict sustainability and performance standards. After extensive testing of Ampere-powered HPE ProLiant RL300 Gen11 servers within their Ceph storage environment, Infomaniak validated several critical advantages.

First, they observed significantly more consistent performance compared to their legacy x86 systems, which had shown unpredictable variability under similar workloads. Ampere’s single-threaded architecture delivered the steady throughput Infomaniak required for customer SLAs.

Second, the company confirmed that the high core density and low power draw of Ampere processors enabled meaningful reductions in energy consumption, directly supporting Infomaniak’s long-standing carbon-reduction commitments.

Finally, the tests demonstrated improved cost efficiency: with more predictable performance per watt and simplified thermal profiles, Ampere offered a more economical infrastructure path for storage expansion without sacrificing reliability.

Together, these gains provided Infomaniak with a platform aligned to their core principles of open standards, sustainability, and high-performance cloud services, while future-proofing their next generation of infrastructure.

Gcore (Luxembourg): Delivering High-Performance Compute with Lower Power and Cooling Requirements

Headquartered in Luxembourg, Gcore operates 180+ global PoPs serving latency-sensitive workloads like cloud gaming, AI inference and edge applications. Gcore needed a platform that could deliver consistent performance while fitting within strict data center budgets for power, cooling and rack density.

By standardizing on Ampere processors, Gcore delivers consistent, throttle-free performance under maximum load, reduced power draw and easier OpenStack integration. Ampere’s high core density and efficient thermal profile also made it possible for Gcore to support 5–7 kW air-cooled rack deployments, keeping infrastructure within the operational limits of many European datacenters where higher-density cooling solutions are not feasible.

These gains not only improved workload performance but also reduced operational costs tied to energy consumption and cooling—key requirements as Gcore continues to expand its cloud footprint across Europe.

“Ampere CPUs deliver consistent performance under maximum load, which is essential for our customers running intensive workloads.”

— Seva Vayner, Cloud Edge Product Director, Gcore

Oracle Red Bull Racing (United Kingdom): Accelerating Performance On and Off the Track

Based in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, Oracle Red Bull Racing depends on high-performance compute to model race strategy, run simulations and test scenarios that influence every Grand Prix. By leveraging Oracle Cloud Infrastructure powered by Ampere processors, the team has elevated its ability to react and adapt in real time.

Since adopting OCI, Oracle Red Bull Racing has improved the speed of its simulations by 25%, enabling faster decision-making and more accurate race strategy. For the 2025 season, the team is pushing further using OCI’s Ampere-based A2 and A4 Flex compute shapes. Leveraging A4, the team expects a 12% performance boost for its race strategy simulations.

Ampere’s predictable, energy-efficient performance helps fuel insights where every millisecond counts—both on the track and in the data center.

WEDOS (Czech Republic): Strengthening Global Cybersecurity

Based in the Czech Republic, WEDOS is the country’s largest hosting provider and a rising European cybersecurity leader. To strengthen defenses against brute force and DDoS attacks, WEDOS rolled out Ampere processors across its distributed PoPs.

During a large-scale attack, their Barcelona PoP processed 200,000 requests per second at only 3% CPU utilization, maintaining service for critical clients without disruption. Ampere’s power efficiency also reduced WEDOS’ operational costs by up to 30% and accelerated PoP deployment timelines.

MAIN & Mikomax (Poland): Running Mission-Critical IFS Cloud in Production on Ampere

Mikomax—an office-solutions manufacturer based in Poland—runs its core business systems on IFS Cloud, including ERP, asset management and production workflows. To support these mission-critical operations, the team deployed a full production environment on MAIN’s Private Cloud using HPE ProLiant RL300 Gen11 servers powered by Ampere processors.

The architecture combines dedicated Ampere-based servers for Oracle databases with a virtualized VMware environment for application and reporting layers—providing high availability, strong performance, and a modernized infrastructure foundation.

This production rollout delivers the results Mikomax prioritized: faster Oracle database performance, accelerated data processing, improved stability and reduced operational overhead thanks to MAIN’s fully managed environment.
