Een Amsterdams bedrijf met een groen hart

Leafcloud is the answer to a growing IT landscape, providing a green, open, and affordable alternative to the US-dominated, lock-in driven, and environmentally taxing cloud industry. Our mission is to revolutionize the cloud industry by pioneering the first European, open, and eco-friendly top-tier public cloud.

We're committed to true sustainability. No new data centers, offsetting, or carbon credits here. We harness residual heat at our Leaf sites, reducing energy wasted cooling servers and grey energy used to heat urban buildings.  

Not building data centers saves money and the environment. By utilizing existing buildings, we minimize our environmental impact, ensuring a low-cost model that benefits our clients and the residents.

Our foundation is built on open-source software, offering accessible APIs and standards that break down barriers and provide unparalleled flexibility for seamless multi-cloud solutions.

As a Dutch company, Leafcloud prioritizes data security and compliance with European regulations, safeguarding personal data within the EU and maintaining ISO 27001 & SOC2 certifications through annual audits.

We are the pioneers of a different cloud—infused with DevOps innovation and a profound care for our planet. Our goal is not just to disrupt the cloud landscape but to lead and accelerate the development of sustainable cloud infrastructure.

Together, we strive to allow IT to flourish while shrinking its ecological footprint.

Our office and distributed data center are located in Amsterdam. Not only does this offer the best network connectivity in the world, we can also cycle to work!
