What Our Clients Say

Join the companies that have already made the switch to sovereign infrastructure.

I recently worked with Timo and the OutaCloud team, and honestly, it turned out to be one of the best tech decisions I have made for my business. Right from the start, Timo took the time to walk me through every step in a simple and calm way. No matter how many questions I had, he never rushed me. The results speak for themselves. With OutaCloud, we reduced our monthly expenses from $1,300 down to $250. This was a huge win for us.
