Why now

Market context

Energy suppliers, municipal utilities and local operators are under significant pressure to transform: smart metering, IoT, network modernization and increasing regulatory requirements are placing much greater demands on digital infrastructure.

At the same time, many organizations lack internal resources to operate modern, scalable cloud and platform environments. Especially in the critical infrastructure (KRITIS) environment, regional, controllable and long-term predictable cloud infrastructures are therefore gaining importance.

01

Organizational challenges

  • Historically grown IT and OT landscapes make standardization and scaling more difficult

  • Many municipal operators have only limited resources for modern cloud and platform operating models

  • Tenders and regulatory requirements increase the pressure on European and traceable infrastructure models

  • Municipal utilities and associations need multi-tenant platforms for different subsidiaries and operational areas

02

Technical challenges

  • Large data volumes from smart metering, sensors, and network operations

  • Need for stable platforms for real-time and near-real-time analyses

  • Requirements for geo-redundancy, backup strategies, and disaster recovery are increasing

  • Integration of existing OT and IT systems is becoming increasingly complex
