Your European cloud provider

Deutsche Telekom’s cloud is suitable for businesses of all sizes – from start-ups and SMEs to large organisations with complex IT requirements. It is particularly relevant for anyone who values high-performance cloud services, technological openness and high standards of security and data protection.

Yes. The platform supports virtual machines and traditional infrastructure workloads, making it well suited for a gradual transition to the cloud.

Containers and Kubernetes now play a central role in both modern software development and the operation of cloud-native applications. They enable automated deployments, flexible scaling and efficient CI/CD processes.

T Cloud Public provides container and orchestration functions for this purpose, enabling the efficient implementation of Kubernetes-based operating models as well as modern DevOps and cloud-native architectures.

Yes. Organisations can also use T Cloud Public in conjunction with managed services or supported operational models. This is particularly useful when internal resources for operations, monitoring or optimisation are limited.

This allows cloud environments to be operated flexibly – ranging from fully self-managed to those with targeted support from experts.

The platform is designed to meet European compliance and security requirements, enabling controlled processing and management of sensitive data and documents. Data is stored and processed exclusively in European data centers. T Cloud Public operates in Germany and the Netherlands, with an additional Swiss variant for storage and processing in Switzerland.

Encryption is a core component of cloud security. However, it is most effective when combined with governance, monitoring, access control—especially for highly sensitive data—and verifiable safeguards to create a resilient security architecture.

In practice, sovereignty means greater control over data, alignment with European legal frameworks, and reduced dependence on proprietary platforms. A sovereign cloud is ultimately defined by its architecture.

Many core cloud services and infrastructure resources are available on demand with T Cloud Public, enabling teams to quickly provision test, development, and production environments. For example, SAP-certified servers are also available. This is a key advantage of modern cloud platforms.

OpenStack provides an open technical foundation, improving interoperability, portability, and long-term independence. For many organizations, this is a strong argument for choosing a European provider.

Yes. With free starting credits and a pricing calculator, organizations can conduct an initial evaluation in a cost-efficient and technically structured way before migrating larger workloads.

A European cloud provider operates infrastructure in European data centers and complies with legal frameworks such as the GDPR. Organizations benefit from clear compliance requirements, greater control over data, and reduced exposure to non-European legal risks. Platforms such as T Cloud Public combine this legal certainty with the scalability of modern public cloud infrastructures.

The key differences lie in legal jurisdiction and technical architecture. US hyperscalers may be subject to non-European laws such as the US CLOUD Act, whereas European providers operate entirely within European legal frameworks. In addition, platforms such as T Cloud Public rely on open technologies like OpenStack, making it easier to move applications across cloud environments.

Speicher und Speicherplatz sind zentrale Grundlagen jeder skalierbaren Cloud-Infrastruktur. Unternehmen müssen Daten, Anwendungen und Backups flexibel und bedarfsgerecht erweitern können – ohne zusätzliche Hardware bereitstellen zu müssen.

Die T Cloud Public bietet dafür skalierbare Storage-Services, die sich dynamisch an unterschiedliche Workloads und Datenmengen anpassen lassen. Das schafft hohe Flexibilität für produktive Anwendungen, wachsende Datenbestände und moderne Cloud-Architekturen.
