One Federated Sovereign Cloud. Capacity near you.
Federra federates standardised DCNs — Distributed Cloud Network Nodes — into a single European cloud. Each DCN lives inside a building that already has spare power, so your capacity runs on the DCN nearest you. Not three distant data centres, but a network built to scale to hundreds of locations, growing stronger with every site added. The federation grows two ways, DCNs at host sites with spare power, and datacenter partners bringing their existing capacity.
Why federate? Three gaps in European cloud — closed on the same row.
European cloud demand is concentrated on a handful of non-EU hyperscalers and a few centralised regions. That leaves three structural gaps. A federated network of DCNs answers each one directly — one platform, many locations, capacity near every user.
Sovereignty gap
EU-regulated data and workloads frequently run on infrastructure controlled outside the EU.
Distance gap
A few centralised regions sit far from most users and devices — everyone reaches for the same distant capacity.
Capacity gap
New data-centre construction is slow, capital-heavy and constrained by power and permitting.
→ EU-operated, sovereign by design
Data stays in-region under EU-auditable control. Aligned with GDPR, NIS2, DORA and the EU AI Act.
→ Capacity near you, on the nearest DCN
DCNs across the map federate into one cloud, so your workload runs on the DCN closest to your users. Built to scale to hundreds of locations.
→ Bring cloud to where power already is
Each DCN drops into existing spare electrical capacity and goes live in weeks, not years.
Many DCNs. One cloud. The one nearest you does the work.
A single DCN is a self-contained Distributed Cloud Network Node — compute, memory, storage and AI inference in a sealed cabinet inside a host building. On its own it's one node. Federated, they behave as one platform.
Provision capacity and it lands on the DCN closest to your users. If a DCN goes offline, the federation shifts your workload to another. And every new location doesn't just add capacity — it makes the whole network denser, closer and more resilient for everyone on it.
New nodes join through two channels: DCNs installed at host sites with spare power, and capacity from datacenter partners that federate their existing infrastructure. Both run on the same platform and behave as one cloud.
Nearest-DCN provisioning
Capacity is placed on the closest suitable DCN, automatically.
Federated resilience
Workloads move between DCNs if any single one fails.
Network effect
Every location added brings the cloud closer to more users.

Discover → register → provision → grow.
The whole path from finding us to live capacity is self-service, guided by an onboarding agent. This is a real sequence — each step unlocks the next.
Discover
Find Federra through answer engines, search, or a free-tier link — in your language.
Register
Sign up on the portal and add a card. Details are verified automatically.
Provision
Select capacity; it's placed on the nearest suitable DCN automatically.
Grow
Scale up or down on demand. Billing starts only when you spin up capacity.
Run your AI agents on the federated cloud.
Point your agents and open-weight models at Federra and they run on the DCN nearest your data — inside the EU, under EU-auditable control, close to the users and systems they act on. Sovereign AI, without shipping your data to a hyperscale region.
Sovereign by default
Prompts, context and outputs stay in-region — aligned with GDPR, the EU AI Act, NIS2 and DORA. Your data never leaves European ground.
Agents run near what they touch
The federation places your agent on the DCN closest to the data and services it works with, so it acts where the work is — not a continent away.
On-site, private inference
Run open-weight models against local data — for a retail site, footage and telemetry can be processed on the in-building DCN and never sent to the cloud at all.
Resilient across the network
If a DCN goes offline, agent workloads shift to another node in the federation. One coherent platform, many places to run.
