Walhalla

What Walhalla does

Walhalla (legal entity: WALHALLA DATA CENTER SERVICES, S.L.) is a Spanish cloud infrastructure provider and data center operator founded in 2016 and headquartered in Castellón de la Plana, with a registered office in Madrid. The company operates the only Uptime Institute Tier IV certified data center in Spain, located at the Universidad Jaime I campus in Castellón, featuring 2N redundancy on all critical systems, 72-hour fuel autonomy, dual electrical supplies, multiple internet providers, and a PUE of 1.15 with 6,000 hours/year of free-cooling. The platform is built on OpenStack with a virtual data center architecture offering public, private, and hybrid deployment modes; a separate VMware Cloud Verified stack (third in Spain and only one with Tier IV + ENS High-level) running on NetApp HCI all-flash storage; Acronis-powered cyber protection and backup; and supplementary services including VDI, DRP, data center migration, Walhalla Drive (file sync), and the recently launched Walhalla Cloud Prime (February 2025).

The business runs exclusively through a 100% channel sales model — selling only via IT resellers and two strategic distributors, Masscomm and Tech2Business (T2B), with Gold and Silver partner tiers and competitive margins. Revenue is generated through subscription-based recurring billing across Housing (Tier IV colocation, 1U to full rack/cage), Walhalla Cloud (Silver/Gold/Platinum server tiers with predictable flat-rate pricing), VMware Cloud (flat-rate with no post-VMware-paradigm-shift price increases), usage-based Cloud Backup (per-GB), and project-based Professional Services. Walhalla holds ENS High-level, ISO 27001, ISO 20000-1, and ISO 50001 certifications, guaranteeing SLAs of 99.995% on data center supply and 99.99% on the cloud platform, and serves IT channel partners, SMB and mid-market customers, Spanish public sector entities, and VMware vSphere environments. The company reports a customer satisfaction score of 8.9/10 and is led by CEO Jose Luis Herrero Rodriguez, who also sits on the board of SPAINDC. The ownership is 100% Spanish capital with no external funding rounds disclosed beyond a small 2019 EISMEA grant.

Direct peers

• Stackscale (Grupo Aire): Stackscale is a Spanish/European managed cloud provider delivering virtual data centers, VMware-based clouds, and Kubernetes on European infrastructure. Direct peer to Walhalla Cloud's hybrid/private cloud portfolio and Spanish data center presence.
• Ironia / Evolutio Cloud: Ironia (now part of Evolutio) is a Spanish cloud, managed services, and data center operator. Serves the same mid-market and public-sector segments with virtual data centers and managed cloud, often via channel partners - directly comparable to Walhalla.
• Arsys / IONOS Cloud (Spain): Arsys is a long-standing Spanish cloud and hosting brand now part of IONOS. Targets Spanish SMBs and channel partners with virtual servers, hosting, and managed cloud services - directly overlapping Walhalla's core market and product set.
• Gigas Hosting: Gigas is a Spanish-listed cloud infrastructure provider offering cloud servers, dedicated hosting, and managed services to SMBs and mid-market. Direct competitor in the Spanish IaaS/hosting market with similar target customers and a comparable channel-led growth model.

Broad incumbents

• OVHcloud: OVHcloud is a large European cloud provider operating its own data centers and offering virtual servers, hosted private cloud, VMware Cloud Verified platforms, and backup. Competes with Walhalla in Spain/EU with greater scale and broader geographic footprint.
• Interxion (Digital Realty) Spain: Interxion, now part of Digital Realty, operates the Madrid data center hub and provides colocation and cloud-adjacent services. Competes with Walhalla for Spanish colocation and regulated-workload customers, but at substantially larger scale and broader portfolio.
• Equinix Spain / Equinix Metal: Equinix operates colocation data centers in Spain (Madrid, Barcelona via MainOne/Itconic acquisitions) and offers adjacent bare-metal/equinix-metal services. Overlaps with Walhalla's Housing/colocation business and Interconnection at the platform level.
• Telefónica Tech / Cloud Data Centers: Telefónica operates Tier III/IV data centers in Spain and provides cloud, hosting, and managed services to enterprise and public-sector customers. The most relevant Spanish incumbent competing for ENS-regulated and large-enterprise workloads.

Emerging players

• Jotelulu: Jotelulu is a Spanish SMB-focused cloud services aggregator/platform providing backup, virtual desktop, and cloud infrastructure to the small-business channel. Comparable in target segment and channel distribution, with a less specialized infrastructure footprint than Walhalla.

Others

• Acronis (technology partner): Acronis is the cyber-protection vendor powering Walhalla's Cloud Backup offering. They are a strategic technology partner rather than direct competitor, but their broader ecosystem of cloud-distributor partners overlaps with Walhalla's target customer base.
