What Managedhosting.de does

Managedhosting.de GmbH is a German managed hosting and cloud services provider headquartered in Chemnitz with data center operations in Berlin and Dresden, serving mid-market and enterprise customers across DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). The company delivers Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service, private and hybrid cloud, managed Zimbra/FileCloud/Nextcloud secure collaboration, and Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service built on a VMware-centric reference architecture (vSphere, vSAN, NSX, vCloud Director, Site Recovery Manager) running on Dell EMC VxRail and Isilon Scale-out NAS infrastructure, with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification by TÜV Rheinland and VMware Cloud Verified status supporting public-sector and regulated-industry workloads.

The business model is predominantly recurring subscription-based managed services priced via quote-based annual SLA tiers and monthly cloud subscriptions, supplemented by pay-as-you-go professional services for audit support and consulting. Go-to-market is sales-led with direct enterprise field sales accessible via hotline, email, and website contact form, complemented by a technology partner channel spanning VMware, Veeam, Red Hat, Zimbra, FileCloud, and Dell Technologies; marketing relies on an active technical blog, industry-event participation (Dell Technologies Forum, Chemnitzer Linuxtage, CeBIT), and partner co-marketing rather than high-volume SMB self-serve.

In April 2025 managedhosting.de GmbH became a wholly-owned subsidiary of axilaris GmbH, a Chemnitz-based Sparkassen (savings bank) IT subsidiary with over 160 employees and banking-sector certifications (EN 50600, IDW PS 951); the company continues to operate as an independent brand, with management transitioning to Dr. Nicole Lorenz and Roberto Schulz alongside continued advisory involvement from founders Andreas Wolske and Heino Gutschmidt.
