What is the Delos Cloud?
The Delos Cloud is a sovereign, secure, and vendor-neutral hyperscaler platform tailored to meet the needs of the German public sector. Central to this offering are Microsoft services which are provided by Delos Cloud on a sovereign basis, including Azure and Microsoft 365 services. In future, third-party providers will also be able to offer their solutions based on the Delos Cloud infrastructure. Open-source software and customer-developed solutions are supported as well. The Delos Cloud meets the highest requirements for data protection, IT security, and confidentiality, aligning perfectly with the “German government cloud strategy”. It is operated by Delos Cloud GmbH, a subsidiary of SAP SE.
