FAQ – European cloud & sovereignty with T Cloud Public

Are the Open Telekom Cloud and T Cloud Public the same? 

T Cloud Public is the next evolution of the Open Telekom Cloud, offering all familiar features—including secure European infrastructure, flexible cloud services, and enterprise capabilities—under a new, future-ready name.

For existing users, nothing changes regarding the services they are used to. The transition is seamless, and all ongoing projects and data remain fully accessible.

With T Cloud Public, you are choosing a modern, secure, and European cloud platform for all your business needs.

What is meant by a European cloud? 

A European cloud is operated entirely within Europe, including data centres, identity management, dataprocessing and support. This ensures that all processes are subject exclusively to European data protectionlaws and regulatory requirements such as the GDPR.
Learn more on the GDPR-compliant cloud for all industries page.

What is a sovereign cloud and why is is important for Europe? 

A sovereign cloud protects data, metadata and operational processes from access outside European legal jurisdictions. It ensures transparency, auditability, and both technical and legal control. T Cloud Public meets these requirements through European-based operations, BSI-C5 certification, and open standards. Learn more about sovereignty.

How do Public, Private and Sovereign Clouds differ?
  • Public Cloud: Shared environment with high scalability for multiple organisations.
  • Private Cloud: Dedicated environment for a single organisation. 
  • Sovereign Cloud: Public or private cloud with additional layers of protection for compliance, data protection and governance – fully under European control.
Why is data sovereignty so important for European organisations?

Because organisations need to ensure that their data is subject exclusively to European laws, particularly when it comes to AI applications, health data, financial data or government processes. A sovereign European cloud guarantees that data, model parameters and logs are not exposed to access under foreign laws (e.g., the Cloud Act). Learn more about IT security & compliance.

What advantages does a European cloud provider like T Cloud Public offer compared to US providers?

European clouds provide:

  • Protection against extraterritorial access rights 
  • GDPR-compliant operations 
  • Transparent auditability
  • European-based data centres and operational management 
  • AI services whose models and training data do not leave Europe

Discover more about the European alternative to US hyperscalers.

Is a European cloud automatically GDPR-compliant?

No, but it provides the best foundation for compliance. T Cloud Public meets, among others:

  • ISO 27018 (cloud privacy protection)
  • BSI C5:2020 (Type II)
  • Data processing exclusively within European regions
  • Complete audit reports, technical and organisational measures (TOMs) and data processing agreements (DPAs)
Where are the data centres of the European cloud provider T Cloud Public located? 

T Cloud Public operates its regions exclusively within Europe, including: 

  • Twin-Core-Region in Germany (Biere/Magdeburg) 
  • Additional European regions in the Netherlands

See an overview of the data center locations.

A sovereign European cloud is designed for:

  • Authorities and public administration
  • Critical infrastructure
  • Healthcare sector
  • ndustry and SMEs
  • Financial service providers
  • Any organisation with high security or compliance requirements
