Artificial intelligence
We take you every step of the way - from your legacy IT to the cloud
There are many facets to government digitalization, and each project requires a unique solution. Based on our own successful transformation and numerous customer projects, we can identify and implement the right path for you. Through our history and long presence in the market, we understand the ins and outs of internal data centers, as well as the need for housing/colocation to on-demand cloud solutions.
Public administration needs digital sovereignty
As a founding member of Gaia-X, we are one of the driving forces behind the Sovereign Cloud Stack (SCS) project. The SCS is a core component of Gaia-X. Its goal is to enable an interoperable cloud infrastructure. Such an open source-based infrastructure is independent of third-party influence and control. The Sovereign Cloud Stack is a complete cloud stack that includes infrastructure as a service, storage, networking, orchestration, and basic services. Our pluscloud open was the first cloud on the market based on the SCS framework. It not only meets the highest requirements of a modern cloud platform, including Kubernetes integration. Above all, this offering focuses on preserving digital sovereignty.
