Kanto partners with UpCloud to serve the European cloud market

15 Oct

We're pleased to announce that Kanto Company has partnered with UpCloud, a leading European cloud provider headquartered in Finland. As two Finnish companies, this partnership allows us to deliver cloud infrastructure solutions with strong local market understanding.

UpCloud brings a compelling combination of European roots and global reach. With 13 data centers spanning across Europe and extending to the US, Australia, and Singapore, they provide flexibility for organizations with both regional compliance needs and international operations.

For Finnish organizations, UpCloud is a familiar name with an established local presence. Their platform offers the core cloud components needed for cloud-native development, backed by transparent hourly pricing that eliminates billing surprises.

A standout capability is UpCloud's isolated private cloud option. These are physically separated environments that maintain full UpCloud API compatibility - giving you the security and control of dedicated infrastructure without sacrificing the automation and tooling of their public cloud platform.

“Together with Kanto Company, we’re making it easier for organizations to access cloud infrastructure that combines performance, transparency, and control. Whether through our private cloud environments or public platform, we’re committed to helping customers build securely and scale globally without compromise.” Teemu Toppola, Chief Product Officer at UpCloud.
