Multicloud Approach: From Hyperscalers to Enterprise Clouds to Private Clouds

The Right Cloud as the Foundation for Your Business Processes

Companies have different requirements for their cloud strategies. While some organizations rely on a scalable enterprise cloud, others need a dedicated private cloud with maximum control and a customized architecture. Added to this are regulatory requirements, data sovereignty, integration needs, and industry-specific compliance guidelines.

As an IT service provider, DATAGROUP therefore offers a broad spectrum of cloud services – ranging from enterprise cloud and private cloud to hyperscaler and sovereign cloud models. Our cloud platforms are operated in German data centers and are certified to ISO 27001 and tested to BSI C5 standards.
