STACKIT. The sovereign cloud that moves Europe. We are not the standard. We set it.
Our vision:
"An independent Europe - digital, leading the way."
Our mission:
"Together with our customers and partners, we are laying the foundations for a digital ecosystem based on our tried-and-tested cloud platform, which we also use ourselves. In doing so, we are creating the conditions for independence, growth and future viability in Europe."
STACKIT is the cloud provider of Schwarz Digits, the IT and digital division of the Schwarz Group, one of the largest retail groups in Europe. Sovereign, future-proof and reliable. The cloud for anyone who wants to remain independent.
We have been taking a holistic approach to sovereignty since 2018. Based in Germany, we store and process your data exclusively in Europe and protect it with state-of-the-art technical, organizational and personnel measures. We rely on open-source technologies to ensure maximum openness and the ability to change.
Together with a strong partner and ecosystem, we offer companies and organizations the maximum for secure and sovereign IT landscapes, especially in highly regulated industries.
The combination of benefits that we bring together is as unique as a fingerprint:
With our data centers in Germany and Austria and our cloud, we support Schwarz Group companies in successfully driving forward their digital transformation. Our cloud must meet KRITIS standards at all times: Because with Lidl and Kaufland, our retail divisions bear great responsibility in supplying the population.
Behind open source technologies are the ideas and ingenious developments of a global community. Behind our cloud are the ideas and ingenious developments of our STACKITEERs. The combination of both gets the most out of your digitalization - simple, secure, stable.
We won't let you get lost in the jungle of cloud offerings. Our aim is to provide you with precisely the cloud transformation that will bring your workload into the cloud pragmatically and efficiently, piece by piece. We stand by your side and offer you more than just standard support if necessary.
With 595,000 employees in 32 countries, the Schwarz Group is one of the world's leading retail groups. Based in Neckarsulm, Baden-Württemberg, the two retail divisions Lidl and Kaufland form the pillars of the food retail business.
In addition, Schwarz Produktion is active in food production and PreZero in environmental services. This makes the Schwarz Group one of the few retail groups to cover the entire value chain - from production and retail to disposal and recycling. Schwarz Digits, the IT and digital division, offers impressive digital products and services that meet the high German data protection standards.
The Group has been growing for years. Over 14,200 branch and warehouse locations in more than 32 countries rely on smooth IT support for their business processes every day. This growth, as well as new digital business models, can only be managed in the long term with a dynamically scalable cloud infrastructure. The STACKIT Cloud was launched in 2018 to drive forward the digital transformation of Schwarz Group companies with its own high-performance cloud services.
