The demands on IT infrastructure in the public sector and critical industries are constantly rising. To remain efficient, scalable, and digitally capable, there is no longer any way around agile cloud technologies. At the same time, the strictest legal requirements, national security interests, and the protection of sensitive classified information drastically limit technological flexibility. Until now, this often meant having to choose between a modern cloud infrastructure and the protective—but rigid—isolation of in-house data centers. The STACKIT Distributed Cloud (SDC) resolves this apparent contradiction—through a new approach that brings a modern cloud environment into customers’ data centers and forms a continuum with the STACKIT Public Cloud.
Government agencies, KRITIS operators, and heavily regulated companies face a monumental task: they must adopt state-of-the-art cloud technologies such as Managed Kubernetes, yet are often prohibited from processing their highly sensitive data in a standardized public cloud. The result: high administrative overhead in isolated on-premises silos, coupled with an acute shortage of skilled personnel.
We deliver a modern cloud environment for classified data to your point of need as a continuum to the STACKIT Public Cloud. You determine the location—in our data centers, on-premises, or mobile—and can operate the Distributed Cloud in an air-gapped environment, isolated from the Internet.
With the STACKIT Continuum, you can flexibly use your familiar cloud environment at any location. You develop applications once and seamlessly deploy them to the optimal platform based on your individual security and operational requirements.
