What aurologic GmbH does

aurologic GmbH is a German private limited company (GmbH) headquartered in Langen, within the Frankfurt metropolitan area, that provides business-only server hosting, colocation, network connectivity, and DDoS protection services to enterprise and service-provider customers across EMEA. Founded in 2014 and operated by Managing Director Joseph Maximilian Hofmann with 1-10 employees, the company operates registered autonomous systems AS30823 and AS43043 under German telecommunications regulator Bundesnetzagentur (Reg-Nr. 16/100), and serves customers exclusively as defined under Section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB).

The core technical platform is an in-house engineered DDoS protection stack running on Juniper and Arista network hardware with 100Gbps-ready connectivity per location, EVPN fabric at 9000 byte MTU, and DWDM wavelength capacity up to 800Gbps per duplex port. The proprietary software stack includes flowTrack (DPI-based connection tracking), flowShield and flowProxy (network and application-layer filtering), flowAnalyzer (real-time threat detection used in on-premise appliances), and streaming telemetry that feeds machine-learning-based anomaly detection with subsecond configuration deployment via BGP Flowspec. Infrastructure footprint spans anycast POPs in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Helsinki with 10+ Tbps mitigation capacity and multi-stage 3,200 Gbps in-house filtering, supported by 250,000+ IPv4 addresses under management and connections to Digital Realty (Interxion) Frankfurt and Equinix FR4-FR7.

The business model combines subscription recurring revenue from dedicated server hosting (custom builds from EUR 195.57/month, instant servers delivered in 30 seconds) and colocation (10U to 42U private rack at TornadoDC FRA1) with usage-based revenue from IP-Transit (10/25/40/100/400G ports, 95/5 percentile billing), Layer2 transport, and bandwidth overages. DDoS protection is included with hosting/colocation and is sold separately as Anycast remote scrubbing or managed on-premise appliance. Distribution is API-first with full Swagger documentation and a self-serve web interface (my.aurologic.com), supplemented by direct enterprise sales for custom builds, colocation, and managed appliance deployments. Payment is accepted via SEPA, PayPal, and Bitcoin.
