Datacenter
Tier IV equivalent facilities in Frankfurt.
Our hardware lives in carrier-neutral colocation facilities in Frankfurt am Main — Germany's central connectivity hub. Each facility meets Tier IV equivalent standards for redundancy and availability.
Physical Security
- Biometric access control on all server rooms
- 24/7 on-site security personnel
- Full CCTV coverage on-site
- Mantrap entry for critical zones
Redundant Power
- Dual independent utility power feeds
- N+1 UPS systems with automatic failover
- Diesel generator backup — 48h+ runtime
- Automatic transfer switches (ATS)
Precision Cooling
- N+1 computer room air conditioning
- Hot-aisle / cold-aisle containment
- Temperature monitoring per rack
- Redundant chiller plant
Monitoring
- 24/7 NOC with remote hands on demand
- Environmental sensors (temp, humidity, smoke)
- Power draw monitored per PDU circuit
- Incident escalation in under 15 minutes

Network
Connected at the heart of Europe.
Colocated in Equinix datacenters in Frankfurt with redundant upstream connectivity across multiple independent carriers. Multi-homed BGP routing ensures automatic failover and optimal paths to every major European network.
Equinix Frankfurt Connectivity
Colocated in Equinix datacenters in Frankfurt — one of Europe's most connected carrier-neutral internet exchange hubs — providing access to best-path routing across all major European and global networks.
BGP Multi-Homing
Traffic is distributed across multiple independent upstream carriers via BGP. If any single provider experiences an outage, failover is automatic and transparent — no manual intervention required.
DDoS Scrubbing
Always-on volumetric and SYN flood scrubbing is applied upstream of all customer IPs. Mitigation triggers automatically and does not affect clean traffic.
Network Isolation
Each customer is placed in a private VLAN. There is no L2 adjacency between customers — your VPS cannot be reached by other tenants at the network layer.
Estimated latency from Frankfurt
ICMP round-tripValues represent typical ICMP round-trip times. Actual latency depends on end-user location and routing. Layout is schematic — distance from center reflects latency, not physical geography.

View plansReliability
99.9% uptime, backed by automation.
Our 99.9% uptime SLA is supported by continuous monitoring and automated remediation — not just an on-call engineer waiting to be paged.
Synthetic monitoring
Automated probes continuously test all VPS instances, network paths, and storage nodes from multiple vantage points.
Auto-remediation
Most common incidents — failed health checks, full disk, hung processes — are resolved by automated playbooks before a human is paged.
< 60s anomaly detection
Our monitoring stack detects deviations from baseline within 60 seconds and opens an incident ticket automatically.
Public status page
Live infrastructure status is published at status.kernlayer.com. Incident updates are posted within 15 minutes of detection.
