We believe that cloud based digitalization is the future. But what if there is no future? Offering fast, easy, secure, flexible cloud based solutions does not make a future. Today cloud services are contributing up to 3.7% of CO2 emissions. As a comparison, the aviation industry is at 2.5%. This must change. We have made our choice to do our part in making sure that the cloud future is green and sustainable. Our services are designed and developed in Malmö in the south of Sweden and delivered from some of the world’s greenest data centers in the north of Sweden running on green energy only.
We feel just as strongly about a few more things. Things that we also seem to be alone in thinking in our industry. First, 100% predictable costs. No surprises. Secondly, No lock-in. No commitment periods, scale as you needed. Leave when you are done. Thirdly, you can actually talk to us. Honestly. Why don’t you try it right now? Give us a call, send a DM or email and talk to us about carbon bike frames, Fulham FC, pike fishing, latest Nike SNKRS release and how your company and cloud services can become greener. Green Clouds Ahead.

There are seven natural wonders of the world. Only one of them are in the clouds. The northern lights.
Just like Scandinavian values as equality and democracy, the northern lights are an important part of our origin and heritage. Since ancient times people has been amazed by the northern lights and tried to relate to it through myths and legends. Among the Sámi, one of the world's indigenous people and one of Sweden's official national minorities based in the north, it was important to meet the northern lights with respect.
That respect is needed now more than ever. With the growing levels of cloud cover driven by climate change, we face a very real possibility that the northern lights will become hidden from our line of sight.
By having the northern lights’ beauty and struggles as a guiding light for our sustainability work, green product offering and inspiration for our visual identity. We hope to do our bit to try to ensure that the greatest light show on earth can stay a highly visible reminder that we need to do our part for a sustainable future for cloud services and all of us here on this planet.
We might have our heads in the clouds but we stand firmly with our feets on the ground.
