What sets it apart from other cloud offerings are its open standards and transparency from A to Z. Additionally, all data is provided and processed in its own data centers in the heart of the EU. Companies can thus rely on GDPR-compliant handling of their data. Moreover, third countries outside the EU do not have access to the data. STACKIT is therefore a pioneer in genuine data sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p>STACKIT has another ace up its sleeve. As a company of the Schwarz Gruppe &#8211; the largest European retailer &#8211; STACKIT developed its cloud for its own companies like Lidl and Kaufland. It is not only deeply tested but also stable, being independent of economic fluctuations and crises.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:64px;margin-bottom:20px;padding-top:16px;\">Technically excellent<\/h2>\n<p>STACKIT operates three state-of-the-art, highly available data centers at its corporate headquarters in Neckarsulm and in Ellhofen (district of Heilbronn-Franken), as well as in Ostermiething, Austria, between Braunau and Salzburg. Thanks to their multi-location options, they meet the BSI\u2019s georedundancy requirements, enabling cost-effective, efficient, and simple implementation of distributed data replication and backup scenarios\u2013including complex business continuity and disaster recovery strategies.<\/p>\n<p>The three data centers offer rental space ranging from 150 to 1,000 square meters. They guarantee a minimum availability of 99.98 percent, feature outstanding PUE values below 1.5, and comply with all common ISO and TS standards. The Ostermiething data center is even Austria\u2019s first DE-CIX Enabled Site, offering expanded services such as peering and data center interconnect.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#004a59;border:1px solid rgba(11,183,253,0.4);border-radius:10px;padding:34px 26px;margin:36px 0;text-align:center;box-shadow:0 0 24px rgba(11,183,253,0.08);\">\n<div style=\"font-family:'SF Mono','Monaco','Consolas',monospace;font-size:11px;color:#0bb7fd;letter-spacing:0.14em;text-transform:uppercase;margin-bottom:10px;\">\/\/ Metric<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:48px;font-weight:700;color:#fff;letter-spacing:-0.03em;line-height:1;\">99.98 percent<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:14px;color:rgba(255,255,255,0.85);margin:12px auto 0;max-width:460px;line-height:1.5;\">Minimum availability of the three STACKIT data centers in Neckarsulm, Ellhofen and Ostermiething.<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:12px;color:#0bb7fd;margin-top:12px;\">\/\/ Source: STACKIT, Data Sovereignty Campaign 2024<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stackit.de\/de\/datensouverane-cloud-epaper\/?utm_source=beitrag1&amp;utm_medium=banner2&amp;utm_campaign=datensouveraenitaet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25453 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudmagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/240430-StackIT-Display-Banner-1200x627-02-700x366.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cloudmagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/240430-StackIT-Display-Banner-1200x627-02-700x366.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.cloudmagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/240430-StackIT-Display-Banner-1200x627-02-250x131.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.cloudmagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/240430-StackIT-Display-Banner-1200x627-02-768x401.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cloudmagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/240430-StackIT-Display-Banner-1200x627-02-120x63.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.cloudmagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/240430-StackIT-Display-Banner-1200x627-02.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:64px;margin-bottom:20px;padding-top:16px;\">The benefits of STACKIT&#8217;s data-sovereign cloud<\/h2>\n<p>The exclusive data hosting in the German-speaking region, where the highest security standards and legal certainty are maintained, the transparent data processing with 24\/7 service, and the open standards without vendor lock-in are what set STACKIT Cloud apart.<\/p>\n<p>As STACKIT is economically stable as part of the Schwarz Group, all benefits can be sustainably provided.
