Il ferro è nostro
Ogni host è acquistato per intero, montato con le nostre mani e tenuto cinque anni. Nulla viene rivenduto dal cloud di qualcun altro.
Azienda
Una piccola azienda che vende server
Echelon è nata nel 2014 con quattro rack a Francoforte e una regola mai infranta: non chiedere mai a un cliente un documento che non vorremmo conservare noi stessi.

Cronologia
Cronologia
2014
Four racks in Frankfurt, then Amsterdam
Two engineers, a purchase order for eight Opteron hosts, and a decision not to ask customers for documents. The first instance was sold in November for €4 a month on a six-month term; Amsterdam followed six weeks later.
2015
Paris, London, New York
The first year of real growth. AS204915 is assigned and we start peering at AMS-IX and LINX rather than buying transit for everything.
2016
Zurich, and a written policy
The acceptable use policy is published in the form it still has today: two pages, plain language, no discretionary clauses. Riga and Bucharest open the same year.
2017
Profitable, and unfunded
We turn down a term sheet. Singapore and Tokyo open, along with Warsaw and Chișinău, and the fleet passes five thousand instances.
2018
Everything moves to EPYC
The Naples-generation refresh doubles per-socket density. Existing customers are moved to the new hardware at their old price, and renewal rates drop for the first time.
2019
Crypto becomes the only way to pay
Card processing is retired after a fourth acquirer demands customer identity documents. Payments move entirely to crypto, and the last stored personal data is deleted.
2020
Seven sites in one year
Demand from remote work and from people leaving the large clouds. Roubaix, Helsinki, Reykjavík, Seattle, Mexico City, Mumbai and Dubai all come online.
2021
The console is rewritten
Version 3 of the control panel ships: one code path for the web console, the REST API and the Terraform provider. Response times drop by two thirds.
2022
Power crisis, prices held
European electricity triples. We absorb it rather than repricing mid-term, take a loss for two quarters, and publish the numbers.
2023
Genoa, DDR5, Gen4 NVMe
The current hardware standard lands. Single-thread throughput rises 38% against the previous generation and storage latency halves.
2024
Ten years, forty-two sites
The anniversary is marked by cutting the twelve-month rate on every plan rather than by a press release.
2025
14 Tbit/s at the edge
Scrubbing capacity is doubled after a 1.9 Tbit/s attack on a customer in Amsterdam is absorbed without a dropped packet on neighbouring instances.
2026
Console v4
A full rebuild of the customer console, the fifteen-language site you are reading, and per-second resource graphs on every instance.

Come lavoriamo
Come lavoriamo
I prezzi scendono, non salgono
L'hardware costa meno a ogni generazione. Quando succede, i clienti esistenti ottengono la nuova tariffa al rinnovo senza doverla chiedere.
L'assistenza sono ingegneri
Non c'è un primo livello che legge uno script. Chi risponde al ticket ha root sull'hypervisor.
Sappiamo dire di no
Rifiutiamo affari che comprometterebbero la rete, e lo diciamo pubblicamente invece di staccare le persone in silenzio.
