Anexia

Anexia is an Austrian cloud, managed hosting, and internet infrastructure provider headquartered in Klagenfurt, Austria. Founded in 2006 by Alexander Windbichler, the company has grown into an international provider focused on cloud and managed services, colocation, software development, and related IT infrastructure. Anexia says it has more than 450 employees, offices in Klagenfurt, Vienna, Graz, Karlsruhe, and New York City, operates more than 100 server locations in 70 countries, and serves over 210,000 international customers. Its public positioning is especially strong around managed hosting, colocation, virtual infrastructure, backup, disaster recovery, object storage, and global network connectivity. A notable point in its growth is the buildout of its World Wide Cloud model, through which it sells virtual servers, managed cluster solutions, colocation, and IP transit across a globally distributed footprint.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

Data Center Footprint:

Anexia publicly states that it operates more than 100 server locations in 70 countries, and separately describes 93 data center locations worldwide, including 25 within the EU, as part of its current global cloud positioning. Its footprint is therefore best understood as a globally distributed infrastructure platform rather than a single country colocation operator.

The company’s public materials position this footprint around worldwide hosting, managed hosting, colocation, and virtual infrastructure. Anexia’s World Wide Cloud pages say customers can obtain virtual servers, managed cluster solutions, classical colocation, and IP Transit through one provider, one SLA, and one invoice across that international estate.

Facility Design & Infrastructure:

Anexia’s colocation pages describe global data centers that provide customer specific server space for infrastructure, positioning the service as a secure home for customer owned systems. Public materials confirm housing options and emphasize secure, globally available colocation and housing services, but the company does not publish a single standardized facility spec sheet across the whole portfolio on the pages reviewed.

For virtual infrastructure, Anexia says its global cloud is based on KVM technology, and its virtual data center offering includes configurable compute, memory, disk, bandwidth, and access to virtual hardware such as firewalls, storage, and load balancers. Its virtual server and global cloud pages emphasize scalability, mobility between locations, and redundancy across the broader Anexia infrastructure.

Service Portfolio Overview:

Publicly evidenced Anexia services include:

• Colocation / housing

• Managed hosting

• Virtual servers / virtual data center / global cloud

• Hosted backup

• Disaster recovery

• Hosted Exchange

• Managed cluster solutions

• IP Transit and network connectivity services

🔐 Security & Compliance

Infrastructure Resilience:

Anexia publicly positions its infrastructure around stability, reliability, and redundancy. Its global cloud page says the service provides the “highest possible stability, reliability and redundancy” of the wider Anexia infrastructure, while the disaster recovery page frames Anexia cloud recovery as a way to minimize downtime and data loss.

For managed hosting, Anexia also emphasizes high availability and global reach, but I did not find a single public company wide uptime SLA or a uniform global redundancy specification across all facilities on the reviewed pages. That level of mechanical and electrical detail is Not publicly listed at the portfolio wide level.

Physical & Logical Security:

Anexia’s public colocation copy says customer servers are “in good hands,” and its certification page confirms that Anexia Data Center Operations, Anexia Managed Hosting, Anexia Virtual Server Infrastructure, and related operations are within the scope of its audited management systems.

However, I did not find detailed public disclosure on the reviewed pages for physical controls such as biometric access, mantraps, CCTV layouts, staffed guard models, or customer cage segregation at the global portfolio level. Those specifics are Not publicly listed in the sources reviewed.

Compliance & Standards:

Anexia publicly states that it is certified to ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001. Its certification page specifically says the effectiveness and continuous improvement of its information security management system under ISO 27001 is confirmed annually by TÜV Nord, and the scope includes Virtual Server Infrastructure, IT Services, Managed Hosting, Software Development, and Data Center Operations.

I did not find public evidence on the reviewed pages for SOC 2, PCI DSS, or similar additional certifications. Those should remain Not publicly listed.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

Carrier Neutrality:

Not publicly listed. Anexia clearly operates a major backbone and global interconnection platform, but I did not find an explicit public statement on the reviewed pages that its colocation environments are marketed under the exact term carrier neutral.

Network Capabilities:

This is one of Anexia’s strongest areas. The company publicly markets IP Transit, Layer 2 Transport, and broader global network connectivity through its own backbone and worldwide infrastructure. Its IP Transit page says customers can connect into a network of over 60 interconnection points and benefit from a backbone offering more than 230 GBit/sec.

Anexia’s network connection and infrastructure pages also position the company around fast and reliable worldwide data transport, additional server capacities around the globe, and globally integrated hosting and connectivity services. Its World Wide Cloud materials further tie virtual servers, managed cluster solutions, colocation, and IP Transit together within one global provider model.

Connectivity Use Cases:

• International businesses needing global IP Transit and backbone connectivity.

• Organizations deploying virtual servers or managed clusters near end users across multiple geographies.

• Customers operating disaster recovery sites in the Anexia cloud.

• Enterprises seeking one provider for colocation, managed hosting, and network transport across a global footprint.

💼 Who It Serves

Anexia’s public materials point most strongly to business customers, especially organizations needing managed hosting, cloud infrastructure, global server locations, and custom IT services. Its messaging is much more enterprise and service provider oriented than consumer focused.
