The sovereign, national cloud is coming. It meets the special security requirements of public administration. It finally opens up the same possibilities for public authorities and other stakeholders that companies are already using today with offerings from hyperscalers: High scalability, elasticity and flexibility at lower costs and less personal effort. This is topped by location independence as well as better performance and availability. Public authorities at all levels of government will be the main beneficiaries of these advantages.

Digital sovereignty in the cloud

The sovereign cloud ensures the highest standards of data protection and data security as well as complete interoperability. These security standards - in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI)) - are currently already established in many German data centers. Compliance with these security requirements is the basic condition for various cloud suppliers to become part of the national cloud. As a multicloud, the sovereign cloud will thus support a number of cloud solutions and also open source software.

The sovereign, national cloud must be technically, operationally and legally sovereign. All public sector data will remain in Germany. There will be a complete separation of the global data centers and the existing public cloud infrastructure in Germany.
