Cubbit: Distributed cloud service provider

The Italian startup was founded in 2016 by Stefano Onofri, Allesandro Cillario, Marco Moschettini and Lorenzo Posani. Instead of using centralized servers like most other cloud providers, Cubbit relies on distributed data centers that are already available. Thereby, Cubbit guarantees “privacy by design” and reduces CO2 emissions. So far, the company has rolled out its services to more than 3,500 customers in more than 70 countries.
