PARIS, FRANCE, 2 October 2024 — Cycloid, the sustainable platform engineering company, has announced a strategic partnership with cloud services firm, cloudXcelerate, to jointly deliver “platform engineering-as-a-service” (PEaaS), DevOps and cloud services to customers across DACH. The partnership combines Cycloid’s strengths in rapid, easy-to-manage cloud provisioning, and user-friendly interface which is accessible to users of all skill levels, with cloudXcelerate’s specialist industry knowledge providing customized solutions to DACH customers.

cloudXcelerate supports customers with standardized and automated services, from architecture to deployment, to ensure a successful and accelerated cloud journey. The company is backed by a large systems integrator in the DACH region with over 5,000 employees globally. With this partnership, cloudXcelerate will offer PEaaS solutions powered by Cycloid in addition to its own building blocks to customers challenged with a spiraling lack of control over cloud infrastructure. Serving as a self-service portal for integrated cloud services, users will have modular access to orchestration, project lifecycle, resources management, FinOps and GreenOps capabilities.

“Partnering with Cycloid allows us to combine our local expertise and IT operations background with their easy to use, rapid to deploy engineering platform, jointly creating a PEaaS solution that will benefit our customers immensely,” said Alexander Höllwart, Managing Director, cloudXcelerate. “Cycloid acts as both an umbrella for our integrated cloud services and a daily tool for DevOps and Platform Engineers users. We look forward to offering our new solution to organizations who are struggling to establish visibility into growing cloud costs which are acting as a barrier to broader adoption.”

Cycloid helps organizations accelerate the delivery of a platform engineering approach without compromising on quality to secure a stronger, more sustainable platform for users. In partnership with cloudXcelerate, the two companies have already seen success in Austria with a renowned domestic managed service provider (MSP) adopting the PEaaS solution to solve cloud migration challenges for its customers. Using Cycloid, the MSP was onboarded and into production in just under four weeks.

“Our partnership with cloudXcelerate enables us to meet demand we’re seeing from organizations who are looking to address the challenges of building strong platform teams, and ensuring control over cloud infrastructure,” explained Benjamin Brial, Founder, Cycloid. “Together with cloudXcelerate, we look forward to working with customers needing to modernize and automate their infrastructure, and scale the adoption of platform engineering. Our PEaaS solution will unlock greater efficiency, faster delivery time, and improved workflows.”
