Built for decades. Hosted in Europe.

Which cloud is suitable for BIM and CDE platforms in public tenders?

Public contracting authorities increasingly demand verifiable European data residency. An infrastructure with data centers in Germany, operated by a European provider, meets this requirement and can be documented in tenders.

What does the US CLOUD Act mean for construction and infrastructure data?

Under certain conditions, the CLOUD Act allows US authorities access to data stored by US providers, even in European data centers. For security concepts and plans of critical infrastructure, this represents a significant risk. A European provider without a US parent company is not subject to this jurisdiction.

How do building data and digital twins remain available over decades?

Crucial factors are open standards and portability. With OpenStack, open APIs, and Terraform, data and infrastructure remain transferable independently of an individual provider, even if contracts or pricing models change.

Edge or central cloud: what belongs on the construction site?

Latency-critical applications such as sensor evaluation, image analysis, or construction progress monitoring benefit from computing power on-site. Planning, archiving, and cross-project analyses are best run in the central cloud.

How do I switch cloud providers without jeopardising ongoing projects?

Step by step, workload by workload. The EU Data Act facilitates switching providers and abolishes switching fees from January 2027. A pilot with a defined workload, such as the archive, reduces the risk for ongoing projects.
