Cloud4Y

Cloud4Y, which now also trades as Cloud4U, is an infrastructure provider founded in 2009. It sells VMware vSphere-based cloud servers, GPU servers with NVIDIA H100, H200, A100 and RTX 5090 cards, physical dedicated servers, colocation, Kubernetes clusters, cloud databases, Hadoop and Spark clusters, and S3-compatible object storage. Around these it offers agentless Veeam backup, disaster recovery as a service, a CDN, load balancing, a web application firewall, and StormWall DDoS protection. Its data centers are mainly in Moscow, the Moscow region and Novosibirsk, with further sites listed in Frankfurt, Haarlem and Istanbul. The provider holds ISO 27001 and PCI DSS certification and complies with the Russian personal data law FZ-152, so it fits Russian companies and regulated organisations that must keep data inside the country. Billing is hourly pay-as-you-go in rubles, and published prices exclude VAT. Business customers can get deferred payment terms, and a 30-day trial is available. Dedicated, GPU and private cloud configurations are priced by quote. Resources can be managed from a web panel, an API or Terraform. The base SLA is 99.982%, and the vendor targets a 10-minute support response. The main drawbacks are cost and how hard it is to predict. Reviewers say Cloud4Y is pricier than international rivals, that add-ons push bills up, and that some plans cap support hours each month. The provider is also little known outside the Russian market.
