We have a great user base and in order to facilitate communication within our user community, we set up our Severalnines Customer Services platform with forums, online support, etc. both for paying customers as well as users. Check it out and join the conversation!



Cloud 5 – our Customers


At Severalnines, our goal is to reduce database costs, ease deployment, simplify management and increase DBA and developer productivity.


But rather than us telling you why we think we are great, we wanted to provide documented case studies on how our innovative products are helping customers meet and exceed business goals for their database operations. See what our customers have to say about us.

Cloud 8 – being talked about at the European Commission – Severalnines in the News


Following our announcement of the City Cloud Database Service, the press took over and 20+ original articles later, we discovered that we were even being talked about at European Commission conferences.

Cloud 9 – winning the EuroCloud Sweden & Europe Awards 2011 for Best Startup!!!


We did it! After winning the EuroCloud Award for Sweden, we won the EuroCloud Europe Award for Best Startup last week in Paris at a prestigious ceremony on the Seine.
