STACKIT. Sovereign services for Europe.
Act independently, make sovereign decisions.
STACKIT is the cloud and colocation solutions of Schwarz Digits, the IT and digital division of Schwarz Group. STACKIT started in 2018 with a clear mission: To develop its own cloud to manage the data and IT infrastructures of the companies of Schwarz Group – as part of the critical infrastructure (KRITIS) – in a sovereign, independent manner and with a consistent focus on operational and strategic independence.
An understanding of the importance of digital sovereignty is deeply embedded in its DNA. That is why Schwarz Digits now also offers its STACKIT services to other companies and organizations that are unwilling to compromise on the security of their digital transformation.
Digital sovereignty: In Every Dimension
STACKIT meets the highest standards of security, control and independence. This is particularly important for critical infrastructures and regulated industries – but also for every other company and organization, wherever it is essential to retain full control over sensitive data. Digital sovereignty is created by the STACKIT cloud in several dimensions: Legal, technical, organizational and economic.
- Legal security: To protect against unauthorized access by third countries, STACKIT stores data only in data centers located in Germany and Austria. The decisive factor is: No non-European law applies, as our supplier headquarters are in Germany.
- Technological freedom: Users of the STACKIT cloud enjoy full flexibility at all times, thanks to open source technologies. An open source code makes data flows traceable, promotes interoperability, and creates trust.
- Organizational independence: Contracts that allow for migration with no hidden obstacles, to provide customers with effective vendor lock-in prevention.
