IONOS, the leading European partner for digitalization for small and medium-sized businesses, has announced a series of significant innovations on its cloud platform. These updates are designed to improve the efficiency and flexibility of the services offered to its customers.
Event Streams for Apache Kafka: Empowering IoT and Real-Time Processing
In response to the increasing number of IoT devices and the need for real-time data processing, IONOS has introduced event streams for Apache Kafka as a managed service. This robust solution allows for processing billions of events daily, ensuring uninterrupted access to Kafka clusters through automatic patches and updates.
In-Memory Database: Speed and Efficiency in Data Storage
IONOS’s new key-value in-memory database offers high performance for high transaction loads. By storing data in RAM, ultra-fast access is achieved, making it especially useful for frequently accessed data and as a cache solution. This implementation is compatible with Redis OSS API and complements MongoDB to complete IONOS Cloud’s NoSQL database offerings.
Network File Storage: High-Performance Shared Solution
The new network file storage service (NFSv4.2) provides a managed shared storage solution based on SSD. This service allows selected virtual machines to simultaneously access the shared storage space, maximizing the performance of storage and network infrastructures.
Enhanced Security and Connectivity
VPN Gateway
IONOS’s new VPN gateway supports IPSec and WireGuard protocols, ensuring secure and encrypted communication across geographically distributed networks. This solution offers robust security features and supports multiple VPN tunnels, enabling scalable and flexible network architectures.
API Gateway
IONOS’s new API Gateway acts as a central entry point for requests to one or more programming interfaces. This service facilitates integration and communication between different services, applications, and clients, simplifying API management for businesses.
Content Delivery Network (CDN): Global Web Content Optimization
IONOS’s content delivery network allows users to distribute web content more efficiently on a global level. By temporarily storing content on servers distributed geographically, latency and load times are reduced, improving user experience. Additionally, it offers security features such as protection against DDoS attacks and a web application firewall.
These innovations strengthen IONOS’s position as a leading provider of digital services and cloud solutions, offering its six million customers in 18 markets across Europe and North America the necessary tools to tackle the challenges of digitalization.
