Oktawave: Oktawave KRK
About Oktawave KRK
Oktawave KRK is Oktawave’s Kraków-region infrastructure location in Poland and forms part of the provider’s three-location domestic data processing footprint alongside PL-WAW (Warsaw 1) and PL-WAW (Warsaw 2). Operated by Oktawave S.A., the site is publicly identified by Oktawave as PL-KRK (Kraków), and Oktawave’s disaster recovery materials further reference the location as Cracow-Skawina. Positioned in southern Poland, the facility supports workloads that benefit from geographic separation from Warsaw while remaining within Poland under local legal and EU regulatory frameworks.
From a market and infrastructure perspective, the Kraków area is one of Poland’s main technology, business, and research centers, giving the region relevance for enterprise, public-sector, and regulated cloud deployments. Oktawave presents its platform around availability, operational continuity, scalability, and sovereign cloud positioning, with PL-KRK serving as part of that geographically distributed architecture for backup, disaster recovery, and multi-region deployment models hosted in Poland.
