Benefit from the STACKIT Cloud and its possibilities.
The term "cloud" is the abbreviation for cloud computing. When we talk about "storing something in the cloud", we are referring to central data processing and storage on remote servers in a data center. Data is transferred from the user's device, such as a PC, smartphone or tablet, via the web. Once the data has been uploaded to the cloud, the stored information and applications can be retrieved at any time from different devices and locations. A cloud therefore enables users to use data flexibly.
Companies that rely on cloud computing in particular benefit from lower costs and a reduced workload. Cloud computing provides various IT systems such as software, computing power, storage, networks and databases via the web. Compared to traditional, i.e. locally operated infrastructures, a cloud offers significantly more scalability and flexibility.
STACKIT is a German cloud provider that stores applications and information exclusively in Germany and Austria. This guarantees maximum data sovereignty and meets the high GDPR requirements. With flexible cloud services and a transparent price structure, STACKIT, as a cloud and colocation provider of the Schwarz Group, is primarily aimed at companies that place increased value on security, regional standards and data protection. Find out everything you need to know about the benefits of cloud solutions in this article.
As a European cloud provider, STACKIT offers many advantages that are particularly attractive for companies:
STACKIT hosts exclusively in Germany and Austria in ISO 27001-certified and GDPR-compliant data centers. This guarantees the highest data protection standards and prevents access by third countries outside the European Union.
Resources such as computing power, storage space and network services can be scaled as required and almost indefinitely. STACKIT thus supports you in flexibly absorbing peak loads and allowing your IT infrastructure to grow in line with your company's requirements.
STACKIT invoices according to the pay-as-you-go principle. This means that you only pay for the services you actually use. In this way, there are no high investment costs for your own hardware components and the costs incurred remain transparent at all times.
Companies have the option of combining existing on-premise systems with the cloud and thus gradually switching to the cloud structure. Sensitive information can continue to be managed locally, while less critical processes can be conveniently outsourced to the cloud.
With IaaS and PaaS, STACKIT provides various cloud services that meet all requirements.
STACKIT relies on open standards and therefore offers the option of simple migration. In this way, companies remain independent of individual providers.
STACKIT takes care of operation, maintenance, updates and the entire security management. The data centers are geo-redundant, which means that data is stored in at least two geographically separate locations. This ensures a high level of reliability and data availability even in the event of natural disasters, power failures or other disruptions. Expert 24/7 support also ensures even greater operational reliability.
New development environments and services can be provided by STACKIT within a very short time. This increases your agility and innovative strength.
To ensure maximum digital sovereignty, low latency and maximum availability, STACKIT operates its cloud infrastructure exclusively in European data centers. Find out in detail which regions and availability zones are available in Germany and Austria and how the redundant architecture ensures the continued operation of your applications even in an emergency.
Security and compliance are the basis for digital sovereignty. Convince yourself of the highest security and strict compliance with European data protection standards: Discover all relevant certificates, test certificates and audits, such as the C5 test certificate from the BSI or the ISO 27001 certification, which prove the conformity of the STACKIT Cloud.
Clouds open up the possibility of scaling IT infrastructures as required without having to purchase physical components yourself. You only pay for the services you actually use, which helps companies and organizations to keep investment costs for their own IT infrastructure low and make costs more predictable.
Administration and maintenance are handled by the cloud provider, which in turn reduces the burden on the company's own servers. Continuous updates also ensure that applications are always up to date.
Professional cloud providers such as STACKIT invest heavily in modern security measures and use powerful security strategies to ensure a high level of protection against cyber threats and reliable data backup. Comprehensive security management ensures that data is professionally protected around the clock in the data center.
New components and cloud functions are also available immediately - without lengthy updates or long installation times. This not only saves users valuable time, but also increases innovation and competitiveness, as cloud services allow users to benefit from faster access to the latest technologies. Components and IT modules are made available flexibly and quickly, allowing new business ideas to be implemented more quickly and companies to be more agile on the market.
Another major advantage offered by clouds is optimized collaboration and mobility. Teams can work together in real time and across different locations, which increases efficiency and improves decision-making. Documents and information can be edited and exchanged simultaneously - which is ideal for anyone working in the office, from home or in international teams.
There are various cloud services, which differ from one another primarily in terms of provision and use:
Cloud computing enables companies to use IT resources such as storage space, computing capacity and applications flexibly and on demand via the Internet instead of having to operate their own IT infrastructure on site. Cloud computing offers clear advantages such as high scalability, versatility, cost savings, increased security, lower maintenance costs and improved team collaboration.
STACKIT scores with cloud services that are specifically tailored to the needs of companies and place a high value on security, European standards and data protection. With STACKIT, companies can make their IT infrastructure modern, secure and flexible while benefiting from simple administration and cost billing based on actual usage.
STACKIT offers cloud services such as virtual servers, storage solutions and various databases. STACKIT provides modern platforms for development and also offers managed services, monitoring, backup and migration support. All services are GDPR-compliant and are operated exclusively in data centers in Germany and Austria. You can find out more about STACKIT's wide range of services at any time via the website.
The cloud is ideal for companies because it provides cost-efficient and flexible IT resources. Companies can react quickly to their own business requirements without having to invest in their own hardware. You also benefit from a high level of security and reliability with a cloud. A cloud also scores points with location-independent access to applications and files. This allows companies to better focus on their core business and be more agile in the market.
STACKIT impresses above all with its strict compliance with all European data protection standards and data storage in ISO 27001-certified German and Austrian data centers. This ensures a high level of GDPR compliance and data sovereignty. STACKIT also offers transparent price structures without long-term commitments.
Start-ups that are supported by the D11Z Ventures portfolio have the opportunity to receive STACKIT credits as well as inclusive services such as a quota of consulting.
