‘I hope that our clients will use the systems more and more. We know we can use the scalability in IONOS CLOUD Managed Kubernetes to meet their expectations. We won’t have to scurry around building new servers just to try to keep ahead of everyone. We’ll also be able to develop more sophisticated products because we’ll be able to spend more time on development, and it’s much easier to deploy.’

‘We generally describe IONOS CLOUD as a low-cost, high-value provider. Obviously, IONOS CLOUD is a well-known hosting provider. They’re building a new data centre near us, which shows there is a big investment in the platform in the UK and there is confidence internally in the business. There is a large customer base that is confident in the business, too, because that’s driving the need for more storage and more data centres.’
