Warum jetzt

Markt-Kontext

Der Finanzsektor in DACH ist hochreguliert und cloud-abhängig zugleich. BaFin-Merkblatt Cloud-Computing, EBA- und EIOPA-Guidelines, DORA ab 2025, EU Data Act, NIS2 und DSGVO geben den Rahmen.

01

Organizational challenges

  • Research projects require scalable GPU and compute resources at short notice

  • Universities and research consortia often work with heterogeneous and decentralized IT structures

  • Project durations and funding logics require flexible usage and billing models

  • Proprietary platforms make long-term data control and exit strategies more difficult
