# Your data sits in Ede, not in an anonymous cloud region

The public clusters of Core run on our own hardware, in the ISO-certified data centres of BIT. Under Dutch law, in a place we can physically point out to you.

## Certified all the way down

BIT, our data centre partner, is certified across its entire service, from the data centre floor to the network.

- **100% green energy** (Power) — The data centres run entirely on power from renewable sources.

- **Our own hardware** (Ownership) — We do not rent anonymous VMs. The servers your environment runs on belong to us, and we know exactly which rack they are in.

- **Automatic migration** (Redundancy) — Should Ede become unreachable, environments migrate automatically to external data centres.

**Ede, the Netherlands** — DATA CENTRES

BIT-1 · BIT-2A · BIT-2C

Independent data centre locations in Ede, redundantly connected. Inside each one our racks are spread across several floors, each on its own network — a fault on one floor does not affect the rest. Access runs through two-factor authentication and biometrics, and everything here falls under Dutch law.

**Fully European, so no CLOUD Act.** RUAL and our data centre partner are Dutch companies with no American parent. Unlike the large American cloud platforms, applications on Core therefore fall outside the scope of the US CLOUD Act. Your data stays under European and Dutch law.

## Three ways to run

From stepping onto the public cluster to running fully on premise: same platform, same updates.

- **Step straight onto the public cluster** — Your environment on our shared clusters in Ede. Up and running quickly, scalable, and no infrastructure to look after. This is what most organisations choose. — Most chosen

- **A private, isolated cluster** — Dedicated hardware for your organisation, in the same data centre, for anyone who needs extra isolation or compliance. — More on private

- **At your own site** — Core also runs inside your own walls, next to your production line for instance, on the same updates as the cloud. — More on on-premise

**And on your laptop.** Core itself is surprisingly lightweight and runs on any machine: macOS, Windows or Linux. Developers run a complete environment locally, on a plane with no internet if it comes to that. What works on your laptop works exactly the same on the cluster.

Live status, publicly visible

The status of every public cluster is online, with uptime and incident history. Even if you are not a customer yet.

### Security does not stop at the data centre door

Every Core environment has security management built in, from admin alerts to audit trails.
