We run your workloads on our own platform in five data centres in London, Dublin, Paris and Barcelona, with replication between any of them, immutable backups and DNS failover, protect your applications and staff with Cloudflare as an Authorized Service Delivery Partner, and produce the audit evidence for ISO 27001, ENS, PCI DSS, NIS2 and DORA. ## Products - [Efficient Cloud Instances](https://www.noraina.cloud/products/efficient-cloud-instances/): Virtual machines on Noraina's platform in five European data centres, replicated every five minutes to a second site. RPO of 5 minutes, RTO of 15 minutes. - [Efficient Cloud Egress](https://www.noraina.cloud/products/efficient-cloud-egress/): Pay less for data transfer out of AWS, Azure and Google Cloud without changing provider. Built for dynamic and long-tail content, from $0.031 per GB. - [Efficient Cloud Backup](https://www.noraina.cloud/products/efficient-cloud-backup/): Encrypted, immutable backups of your cloud instances outside your cloud provider, at in-region network cost.

Also for Azure and Google Cloud. - [Replicated instances in two data centres, with DNS failover](https://www.noraina.cloud/architectures/replicated-instances-dns-failover/): Efficient Cloud Instances replicated between two Noraina data centres, with NorainaDNS health checks that move traffic to the second site when the first fails. - [Specialised servers in our data centres, protected by Cloudflare](https://www.noraina.cloud/architectures/specialised-servers-cloudflare/): GPU or high-core servers in a Noraina data centre, with Cloudflare application security in front of public access and Zero Trust for administration. - [A web stack with European providers only, with Bunny.net](https://www.noraina.cloud/architectures/european-stack/): Servers in Noraina's EU data centres with Bunny.net's CDN and Shield WAF in front, for companies that need every provider in the chain to be European. ## Noraina Tools - [Faro, billing and commitment alerts for Cloudflare Enterprise](https://www.noraina.cloud/tools/faro/): Faro tracks Cloudflare Enterprise usage across every product and account, forecasts spend and alerts you before you exceed a commitment. - [Analytics reports for Cloudflare](https://www.noraina.cloud/tools/analytics/): Generate a Cloudflare analytics report for all the zones in an account, as an HTML report or JSON data, signing in with Cloudflare or a read-only API token. - [SDNS, Cloudflare Zero Trust DNS for UniFi gateways](https://www.noraina.cloud/tools/sdns/): SDNS converts a Cloudflare Zero Trust DNS over HTTPS endpoint into an SDNS stamp, the format UniFi gateways need to use it as their DNS resolver. - [Sentinel, security alert analysis for Cloudflare](https://www.noraina.cloud/tools/sentinel/): Sentinel analyses Cloudflare security alerts with your traffic data and sends Slack a verdict, a severity and proposed WAF or rate limiting rules. - [Dynamic IPsec endpoints for Cloudflare WAN](https://www.noraina.cloud/tools/dynamic-ipsec/): Keeps Cloudflare WAN (Magic WAN) IPsec tunnels up at sites with a dynamic public IP by updating the tunnel endpoint when the address changes. - [Proxy read timeout editor for Cloudflare Enterprise](https://www.noraina.cloud/tools/proxy-timeout/): Review and change the proxy read timeout of every Cloudflare Enterprise zone in an account from one page, signing in with Cloudflare. ## Compliance Pick one to see which of its controls our services support, and the evidence you get for your auditor. - [ISO/IEC 27001:2022](https://www.noraina.cloud/compliance/iso-27001/): 15 controls supported - [Esquema Nacional de Seguridad (Real Decreto 311/2022)](https://www.noraina.cloud/compliance/ens/): 14 controls supported - [PCI DSS v4.0.1](https://www.noraina.cloud/compliance/pci-dss/): 9 controls supported - [NIS2 Directive (EU) 2022/2555](https://www.noraina.cloud/compliance/nis2/): 6 controls supported - [DORA Regulation (EU) 2022/2554](https://www.noraina.cloud/compliance/dora/): 4 controls supported - [GDPR (EU) 2016/679](https://www.noraina.cloud/compliance/gdpr/): 4 controls supported ## Credentials - ISO/IEC 27001 certified operations - Cloudflare partner since 2020, now an Authorized Service Delivery Partner (Powered+) in EMEA - AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud, Wasabi and Bunny.net partner - Available on AWS Marketplace and Azure Marketplace - Member of the INEX (Dublin), LINX (London) and France-IX (Paris) internet exchanges - Genians partner for OT network security ## Contact - Email: info@norainacloud.com - Phone: +353 21 204 0104 - https://www.noraina.cloud/contact/ ## Frequently asked questions ### What does Noraina do? Noraina runs infrastructure for companies on its own platform in five data centres in London, Dublin, Paris and Barcelona: virtual machines sized to each workload, replication between sites, immutable backups and DNS with automatic failover, sold as the Efficient Cloud products. We also protect applications and staff with Cloudflare Enterprise and Cloudflare One as an Authorized Service Delivery Partner, help teams build on Cloudflare Workers, and map every service to the compliance controls it supports. ### Which certifications and regulations can Noraina help with? ISO/IEC 27001, the Spanish Esquema Nacional de Seguridad (ENS), PCI DSS, NIS2, DORA and GDPR. Our services support specific technical controls in each and produce the evidence your auditor asks for. Certification itself is granted by an accredited body. ### Where is my data stored? In the data centres you choose among our five sites: Equinix LD5 (London), Equinix DB3 (Dublin), Equinix PA2 and Telehouse TH3 (Paris) and Templus (Barcelona). Production and replica can be in any combination, for example both inside the EU, or in different countries. Backups go to Wasabi object storage in a separate location. ### How do we start working with Noraina? Write to us or use the gap review form and we reply within one working day. We start by understanding your infrastructure and requirements, and our engineers join from the first technical conversation, so the proposal you receive is one we have designed, not a price list.
