ForgeOne operates production managed infrastructure in Falkenstein at Hetzner FSN1 and local development and test infrastructure in Vienna.

## Data Centers & Locations

ForgeOne operates production managed infrastructure in Falkenstein at Hetzner FSN1. In Vienna, we use local systems for development, testing and internal operations tasks.

If you are planning infrastructure or changing existing systems, we help clarify location, operations, monitoring, backup and responsibilities.

Locations

## Where we operate infrastructure

Falkenstein is our production data center and hosting location. Vienna is used for local development and test infrastructure.

### Map locations

## What this means for customers

## Operations with clear location context

For managed-server and platform environments, we use Falkenstein as the production location. This makes operations, backup, monitoring and responsibilities easier to plan clearly.

## Better decisions before implementation

Not every environment belongs in the same operating model. We clarify early whether a data center, on-premises, private cloud or hybrid approach fits.

## How we operate our infrastructure

For us, reliable infrastructure operations mean more than monitoring individual servers. The operations and monitoring infrastructure itself also needs to be observable.

Central monitoring components monitor operated systems and also check each other for reachability. This practical operations experience feeds into our managed-server and managed-platform environments.

## Operating models for your infrastructure

We do not choose the location by gut feeling, but based on operations, access, data, backup and cost.

### On-premises

Systems run at the customer site. ForgeOne supports setup, automation and operations.

### Dedicated / hosted

Dedicated infrastructure runs with a suitable hosting or data center provider.

### Private cloud

An isolated platform for workloads that need control and clear operational boundaries.

### Hybrid

Local systems and external infrastructure are combined intentionally.

### Backup / recovery

Backups and recovery are planned separately from production operations.

## Location alone is not enough

The server location matters, but it is not the whole answer. A reliable setup also depends on administrative access, encryption, backup location, responsibilities and the operating model.

A location in Austria or Germany does not replace legal or regulatory review and is not an automatic compliance promise.

## What infrastructure we operate

Location questions usually appear when systems need to be operated reliably over time.

### Linux / Enterprise Linux

Server operations, updates and automation.

### Private cloud / Proxmox

Virtualization, storage and networking.

### Kubernetes

Clusters, ingress, certificates and storage.

### Collaboration

Groupware, files, chat and office platforms.

### Backup / recovery

Backups, restore tests and recovery.

### Monitoring / identity

Monitoring, login, SSO and central services.

## Planning new infrastructure or changing how existing systems are operated?

Together, we clarify which location, operating model and operational responsibility make sense for your environment.
