Many companies still struggle with saving their data in the cloud, because most of the existing providers do not value the high European safety standards. That is why STACKIT the digital brand by the Schwarz IT Kg, will establish an OpenSource cloud, hosted in Germany.
Since 2012 we are working with OpenStack, the OpenSource standard for cloud infrastructures. Over the years, we have developed expertise in life cycle management of open infrastructures, like operating and monitoring as well as maintenance and optimization of OpenStack-distributions.
Therefore, our cooperation with the Schwarz IT KG, was a perfect fit. Working together, we develop a solution based on OpenStack, which will be the foundation for the future cloud offering.
The focus is on sovereignty for digital infrastructures, so the software we are working on, serves the life cycle management and therefore the future development of existing cloud infrastructures.
“We are very happy about the cooperation and believe, that we can build a powerful and sustainable infrastructure. Possible cooperation’s in adjacent business areas, like sustainable data centers, are considered and examined.” – says Marius Feldmann, COO Cloud&Heat Technologies GmbH.
STACKIT is the digital brand by the Schwarz IT and part of Europeans biggest trading company. This includes Lidl and Kaufland as well as the Schwarz production and recycling management companies. As corporate start up of the Schwarz IT, STACKIT offers colocation like data center- or rack space as well as cloud infrastructures and platform services (IaaS and PaaS) in enterprise quality. STACKIT offers the technological base for the digital transformation of the Schwarz group, of which other companies will benefit in the future.
