The partnership
Green digital infrastructure with Cloud&Heat
Since the last CEBIT in June 2018, EnBW has been working together with our partner and VNG shareholding Cloud&Heat Technologies to develop a potential basic digital supply with Green IT and Kritis IT. In this conceptual R&D phase, EnBW has received intensive advice (economic, ecological and technical) for various levels ranging from green edge data centres to cloud infrastructures. An initial technical PoC on OpenStack infrastructure and a first white-labelled cloud portal were also successfully implemented.
Modern digital infrastructure is an essential basic service for businesses and society. This infrastructure will have to transform, at least in part, in the future: EU-sovereign, greener and more efficient, secure and EU-compliant, cloud-enabled and low-latency. For such setups, Cloud&Heat can do many amounts, from efficient hot water cooling to automated and security hardened OpenStack and SecuStack technology.
