About us

JOTELULU is a pioneering European cloud service provider, uniquely serving IT companies.  

Given that 80% of SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) acquire their digital infrastructure through IT companies, we at JOTELULU have tailored our services to meet this significant demand. Existing cloud providers can’t sell directly to these SMEs, creating a unique niche that we effectively fill. Our array of services includes servers, cloud storage, remote desktop, IP telephony, and online backups, all designed to outperform the offerings of traditional cloud providers. 

Our distinct advantage lies in our white-label solution, meticulously crafted for IT companies. This approach not only bridges the gap in the market but also addresses the specific challenges IT companies face with these conventional providers: 

  • Simplicity: We streamline the complexity inherent in existing cloud platforms, making our services easy to sell and manage. 

  • Profitability: Our model ensures enhanced profit margins, a stark contrast to the slim returns typically seen in this sector. 

  • Dedicated Support: Our clients are never alone; we provide comprehensive support for all incidents, big or small. 

Our robust infrastructure is self-managed, with physical servers located in Madrid and Paris, ensuring reliability and top-tier performance. 

Currently, JOTELULU is entering an exhilarating phase of expansion across Europe, broadening our offerings to IT companies. This growth reflects our core ethos—a Product Engineering mindset. As our teams expand, this mindset continues to be the cornerstone of our approach within Product, Engineering, and Data divisions. 

Join us at JOTELULU in this exciting journey as we redefine cloud services for IT companies and their SME clients.
