Rh-tec Business Gmbh

What Rh-tec Business Gmbh does

rh-tec Business GmbH is a privately held German cloud hosting and managed infrastructure provider founded in 2003 and headquartered in Bad Oeynhausen, Germany. The company delivers a unified portfolio built around three pillars: private and virtual cloud (rhCloud Private, rhVirtual), colocation (rhColo Space, rhColo Rack47), and managed network/security services (rhProtect NGFW, rhManaged Switch, Backup). All infrastructure is operated exclusively in two fully redundant data centers in Frankfurt am Main, certified to DIN EN 50600 T2 and operated under an ISO/IEC 27001:2022 information security management system, with >99.9% committed availability and 100% GDPR/DSGVO-compliant data residency.

The underlying platform is built on enterprise-grade hardware from HPE, Dell, Cisco, Supermicro, and NetApp, virtualized via Xen Orchestra, protected with Fortinet-based next-generation firewalling, and backed up with Veeam. The company also resells enterprise hardware as a value-added procurement service and offers on-site "HandsOn" support plus consulting around Germany's BAFA digitalization subsidies for SMEs. Customers are German businesses of all sizes that require compliant, locally hosted IT infrastructure with direct access to qualified technicians rather than call-center routing.

rh-tec generates revenue primarily through subscription-based recurring fees for cloud, virtual server, colocation, managed switching, and security services billed monthly or annually in advance, complemented by hardware resale margin and project-based professional services. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, anchored on direct inquiry, personal advisory engagement, and BAFA-funded program promotion, with no channel partner or reseller network and no disclosed institutional investment. The company is owner-operated, with Gerhard Röhrmann serving as the sole authorized managing director.
