The platform launched in May 2021, and the company says it has seen “strong demand” from users from over 130 countries – with Germany accounting for nearly 5% of its user base.
This new region in Frankfurt will enhance the operational experience for European users, said the firm. It is planning a further region in Asia later this year, with another five regions planned across the world in 2022.
Softbank-backed THG Ingenuity recently invested £1.4 million in Civo. As part of the investment THG Ingenuity became Civo’s exclusive data centre hosting and enterprise sales partner, “accelerating the roll-out of Civo regions to data centres and large development teams around the world”, the partners said.
Mark Boost, CEO of Civo, said of the new cloud region: “Frankfurt strengthens Civo's offering across the globe and provides companies in Germany and the European Union with a lower latency connection to our leading cloud native hosting service.
“We continue to lead the way with a cloud-native first approach and simple billing model, which reduces the complexity of running Kubernetes and lowers the costs for companies looking to move to a cloud-native future,” said Boost.
