Anexia

What Anexia does

Anexia is a privately held Austrian cloud infrastructure and managed services provider founded in 2006 and headquartered in Klagenfurt. The company operates the Anexia World Wide Cloud (WWC), a global infrastructure platform spanning more than 100 server locations across 70 countries, supported by over 30 European data centers and additional facilities in North and South America and South Africa. On top of this footprint, Anexia delivers managed hosting, Virtual Data Center (vDC), hybrid cloud, disaster recovery, colocation, anycast, DDoS protection, and IP transit services, supplemented by custom software development (web, mobile, AI/ML) for enterprise and mid-market clients.

The company serves more than 210,000 international customers across verticals including e-commerce, gaming, banking, agencies, corporate websites, and start-ups. Revenue is generated through managed services contracts, recurring cloud subscriptions, professional services for bespoke software, and colocation/wholesale IP transit — all custom-quoted rather than list-priced. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with a self-serve layer via the Anexia Engine customer portal.

Under Anexia Holding GmbH, the group has executed a roll-up of regional hosting brands (netcup, emerion, ISQ Solutions, Telematica, SSP Europe IT, Hex GmbH), maintaining brand autonomy while consolidating infrastructure. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 14001, CSA STAR Level 1, and ISAE 3402 Type II certifications, and CEO Alexander Windbichler sits on the CISPE board (since February 2025), anchoring Anexia's positioning as a European digital sovereignty alternative to US hyperscalers.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Leaseweb: Dutch-based Infrastructure-as-a-Service provider operating a global network of data centers offering dedicated servers, cloud, colocation, and CDN. Comparable global footprint and product mix to Anexia's managed hosting and cloud portfolio.
• PlusServer: German managed hosting and cloud provider serving enterprise and SMB with dedicated hosting, managed services, and cloud platforms. Direct German-market rival to Anexia's managed hosting business.
• OVHcloud: European hyperscale cloud provider headquartered in France offering dedicated servers, private/public/hybrid cloud, and hosted private cloud, with strong sovereignty positioning. Closest direct competitor to Anexia in the European independent cloud and managed hosting market.
• Scaleway: French European cloud provider offering bare-metal, dedicated servers, virtual instances, and object storage with strong sovereignty stance. Competes with Anexia for European customers prioritizing non-US cloud infrastructure.
• IONOS: Major European hosting and cloud provider (formerly 1&1 Internet) serving SMB and enterprise with shared hosting, dedicated servers, cloud servers, and managed services. Direct competitor in Anexia's German and Austrian DACH heartland.
• Hetzner: German-based hosting and cloud provider with global data center footprint offering dedicated servers, managed servers, and cloud servers. Competes with Anexia across Europe on price-performance in hosting and virtualized infrastructure.

Broad incumbents

• AWS (Amazon Web Services): Global hyperscale cloud platform with the broadest service catalog. While very different in scale and model, AWS sets pricing benchmarks Anexia must compete against and increasingly offers European sovereign cloud regions that could erode Anexia's regulatory moat.
• Interxion (Digital Realty): Major European colocation and interconnection provider (now part of Digital Realty). Adjacent rather than direct — Anexia uses Interxion Vienna as a data center facility and competes in some colocation workloads, but Interxion is far larger and focused on carrier-neutral data centers.

Regional players

• Datacenter One: German data center developer and colocation/connectivity provider. Anexia's strategic partner since 2019, but also a regional infrastructure provider whose footprint overlaps with Anexia's German operations.

Emerging players

• Mittwald: German managed hosting provider specialized in web applications, content management, and developer-focused hosting. Niche competitor with partial overlap to Anexia's agency and web development hosting segments.
