Innovation, Growth, and Sustainability
With the holidays behind us and the new year underway, it’s a great time to reflect on what we’ve accomplished. 2024 was a year full of milestones for Leaseweb. From remarkable collaborations to innovative product launches, we strengthened our position as a leading cloud service provider and set the stage for future growth.
The European Cloud Campus: A Truly Sovereign European Cloud
One of our most significant initiatives this year was our collaboration with the European Commission on the European Cloud Campus. This project focuses on developing a fully sovereign European cloud that complies with the EU’s stringent regulations.
This cloud solution provides businesses with a secure infrastructure for storing and processing data within Europe. It not only drives innovation in AI and machine learning but also attracts knowledge workers who contribute to a more sustainable and efficient digital future. Through this initiative, Leaseweb took a pivotal step toward safeguarding European data sovereignty.
Entering the Public Cloud Market
But that was just the beginning. Early this summer, we launched our own public cloud service—a cost-effective and flexible alternative to hyperscale providers. This solution stands out with its transparent pricing model free of hidden costs, offering businesses access to a robust cloud environment without large upfront investments.
With 99.99% uptime, global availability across seven regions, and advanced features like autoscaling and built-in firewalls, we raised the bar in the public cloud market. This product reflects our commitment to providing flexible and scalable solutions that meet our customers’ unique needs.
Innovating with Object Storage and Kubernetes
To address the growing demand for reliable storage solutions, we introduced Leaseweb Object Storage. This solution offers businesses scalable storage with a focus on security, cost-efficiency, and ease of use. With S3 compatibility and redundant storage across multiple zones, it’s an ideal platform for AI data, backups, and archiving.
We also launched Leaseweb Managed Kubernetes to simplify container management. This fully managed solution helps businesses develop applications faster and more efficiently. With free management and competitive rates for underlying resources, we empower our customers to accelerate their innovation.
Sustainability: ISO 14001 Certification
Last but not least, our ongoing commitment to sustainability was recognized with ISO 14001 certification, an internationally acclaimed standard for environmental management systems. Initiatives such as green procurement, fully electric vehicles, and 100% renewable energy help us continually reduce our environmental footprint. This certification underscores our dedication to sustainable business practices and supports our long-term ESG goals.
2024 was a year where Leaseweb not only innovated but also invested in collaboration and sustainability, always with our customers’ needs at heart. 2025 has begun, a year in which we eagerly look forward to new opportunities to support our customers and further innovate and enhance the cloud industry. I hope the holidays were fantastic and wish everyone a healthy 2025!
