Fotoware expands German cloud location with modern architecture

12. January 2026

Fotoware is strengthening its  Digital Asset Management (DAM) SaaS offering with the launch of a new, additional Microsoft Azure location in Germany for Fotoware Veloz. This addition is part of our ongoing investment in modern cloud infrastructure in order to deliver enhanced performance, scalability, and data residency options for our customers.

Built on a next-generation architecture, the new environment introduces horizontal scaling, ensuring the platform can meet increasing demands while providing faster response times and improved reliability.

It also lays the foundation for future innovations in how customers store, manage, and distribute digital assets in the cloud while benefiting from secure data hosting in Germany, just as you are used to from our existing German location.
