Flexible Hosting As Key Enabler: Cloud, Local, On-Premise, or Military
Sep 16, 2025
Flexible hosting options have become the key enabler for wearable-based research and clinical studies.
Fitrockr is designed to meet the diverse needs of healthcare, research, and enterprise customers around the globe. When working with sensitive health and activity data, organizations often face strict data protection, compliance, and IT policy requirements. To ensure maximum flexibility, Fitrockr supports multiple hosting options: cloud hosting in the EU (Germany), cloud hosting at any local country-specific data center, and on-premise hosting within the customer’s own IT infrastructure.
1. Cloud Hosting in the EU (Germany)
Fitrockr’s default setup runs on high-security cloud servers located in Germany. This option is ideal for organizations looking for a quick, reliable, and cost-efficient deployment.
Benefits:

– GDPR-compliant hosting under strict German and EU data protection laws.
– Automatic updates and system monitoring by Fitrockr.
– Scalable resources to support projects of any size.
2. Country-Specific Cloud Hosting
For customers with local data residency requirements, Fitrockr can be hosted at a cloud data center within the customer’s country. This ensures compliance with national regulations while maintaining the benefits of cloud scalability.
Benefits:
– Meets local data protection and residency laws.
– No data transfer across borders.
– Same reliability and scalability as German cloud hosting.
3. On-Premise Hosting at Own IT Server Center
Some organizations require complete control over their IT infrastructure. Fitrockr offers on-premise deployment, allowing the entire system to be hosted within the customer’s own data center.
Benefits:
