Kamatera is expanding into Eastern Europe with a brand-new data center in Bucharest, Romania. Having a local hub makes it easy to deploy high-performance servers, storage, and networking right next door to your audience. Hosting closer to your users means faster page loads, lower latency, and seamless app performance. As our 25th location worldwide, Bucharest makes it simple for growing teams to tap into high-speed cloud resources right where they operate.
Why location matters for cloud performance
Every network request has to travel from the user to the server and back. The farther that round trip, the more latency stacks up, and the more it shows in page load times, API response times, and anything that depends on quick back and forth with a server.
For businesses serving customers in Romania and the surrounding region, routing traffic through a data center in Western Europe or further away adds delay. A Bucharest location shortens that path for users across Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, and neighboring countries, which translates to faster load times and a more responsive experience for anyone connecting from the region.
This matters most for latency sensitive workloads: e-commerce platforms where checkout speed affects conversion, SaaS applications with frequent API calls, real time services like virtual desktops and AI agents, and anywhere every extra hundred milliseconds counts.
Built for local and regional deployments
The Bucharest data center runs on the same Kamatera cloud platform available in our other locations, so provisioning, scaling, and management work the same way, regardless of region. Teams can deploy cloud servers, block storage, load balancers, and managed databases from Bucharest using the same dashboard and API they’d use anywhere else in the Kamatera network.
For companies that need infrastructure closer to customers, or that want to distribute workloads across multiple regions for redundancy, Bucharest adds another point of presence without adding operational complexity.
Kamatera CEO Tal Holzer highlighted the company’s ongoing dedication to empowering growing markets:
“We’re thrilled to launch our new data center in Bucharest. Eastern Europe’s tech scene is booming, and companies here deserve fast, reliable cloud infrastructure that grows with them. By setting up locally in Romania, we’re making it much easier for regional businesses to scale up and deliver top-tier performance to their users.”
Data locality considerations
Where your data lives plays a huge role in compliance. With strict regulations like GDPR and industry-specific privacy standards, keeping customer data within national borders is a major requirement for many growing companies. Hosting out of our Bucharest facility gives you a local option to meet data residency rules, satisfy audit requirements, and keep your legal team happy, without sacrificing cloud performance.
Getting started
The Bucharest region is available now through the Kamatera console, alongside our existing global locations. Deploying there works the same as deploying anywhere else on the platform: choose the region, configure your server, and launch.
If your business serves customers in Eastern Europe, or you’re looking to add a region to your existing deployment, our new data center location in Bucharest is worth a look.
