Why the European Cloud is more secure, more stable and more transparent

“Made in Europe” – This is how the European Cloud can determine your security and self-determination in the digital world.

European Cloud means security, reliability and transparency. In the geopolitical and digital world, these keywords are more relevant than ever, as the old reliability between formerly close partners is becoming less and less common today.

This makes it all the more important for Europe to be able to stand on its own two feet. “Made in Europe” is back in vogue – also in the digital world. Because: the alternative brings with it a major security risk that can also affect your data and your digital infrastructure.

 

What does the European Cloud offer?

 

1. Your data is secure with European providers

If you choose the wrong provider, you run the risk of governments and authorities in other countries being able to access sensitive data – even if it is physically stored in Europe. Laws such as the US CLOUD Act make this possible. For example, the US president can order all American cloud companies to shut down their data centers in Europe with a single decree. The same applies to numerous other third countries. Simple sanctions could put a large part of Europe’s digital infrastructure in a serious predicament.

This means that your digital infrastructure and your data are not under your sovereignty either, but that of a third country. The risk: uncontrollable access, blocking or even deletion. A third country that wants to exert influence over Europe would have many opportunities to use its cloud companies to do so. In view of current political developments, such a scenario is not unlikely.

For your company, this means a loss of control. You are dependent on developments outside Europe and are no longer sovereign in your decisions and actions. There is no long-term planning security due to the many uncertainties.

The alternative? “Global Cloud made in Europe”. An infrastructure that fully complies with European legal standards. A platform that cannot be influenced by geopolitical power shifts und that is exclusively subject to European laws. A solution that takes its responsibility for data protection seriously. If you really want to protect your data and infrastructure, you have to rely on the European Cloud.

 

2. Only the European cloud gives you transparency

Transparency in the digital space is strictly regulated in Europe – remember the GDPR, for example, which requires features such as tracking and cookies to be disclosed. In line with these regulations, the European Cloud offers special transparency: you know where your data is located at all times and manage access yourself.

 

3. With the European Cloud, you are independent of large corporations

Many companies and institutions in Europe rely on the solutions of large non-European tech companies in their day-to-day operations. What appears practical at first glance often harbors hidden risks: These large companies try to bind customers to them as much as possible. This creates dependencies on individual service providers, which they could exploit in the form of price increases, service cuts, etc.

Anexia’s “Global Cloud made in Europe”, on the other hand, has no hidden dependencies, no license traps and no vendor lock-in – because it is based on open source. Open source technologies mean: no ties to individual providers, but transparency and control for users. At the same time, customers benefit from the ability to adapt solutions precisely to their needs.

 

4. The European Cloud is also more sustainable

Anexia covers a large part of its energy requirements itself – with green electricity from the company’s own hydroelectric and solar power plants. The company complies with ISO 14001 environmental certification and also consciously focuses on energy efficiency when it comes to hardware.
