What does Aruba Cloud do?
Aruba Cloud is italian cloud provider with low-cost vps and public cloud — a european alternative to digitalocean. It is listed under cloud infrastructure and hosting on EU Alts because its core functionality serves teams looking for a European cloud infrastructure tool with EU data residency, typically as a switch away from AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure.
Is Aruba Cloud a good European cloud infrastructure alternative?
Aruba Cloud is a fit for European businesses evaluating cloud infrastructure options where data residency and GDPR alignment matter — typical buyers include EU-based SaaS teams, public-sector projects, regulated industries (healthcare, finance, legal), and any organisation that needs to demonstrate that customer data does not leave the EU. It also overlaps with hosting use cases.
Is Aruba Cloud GDPR compliant?
Aruba Cloud is headquartered in Arezzo, Italy and falls under EU jurisdiction, so it likely processes user data under the GDPR by default. Customer data processing is supervised by Italy's data protection authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali (Garante). EU Alts has not yet independently verified Aruba Cloud's ownership structure or hosting location, so we can't yet confirm its exposure to the US CLOUD Act the way we can for verified entries.
How do teams switch from AWS to Aruba Cloud?
Most teams considering a move from AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure to Aruba Cloud are drawn to its EU headquarters and cloud infrastructure workflow fit. EU Alts hasn't yet verified Aruba Cloud's ownership and hosting facts, so treat any CLOUD Act or Schrems II conclusions as provisional until verification is complete. Plan a migration in stages regardless: export your data from the US incumbent, pilot Aruba Cloud with a small team, then move the rest once integration coverage is confirmed.
Where is Aruba Cloud based?
