The sovereign cloud from noris: Companies, especially in the public sector or the financial industry, can now take advantage of the flexibility and cost benefits (pay per use) of the public cloud while meeting all data protection and compliance requirements.

noris Sovereign Cloud (nSC)

Benefit from the advantages of a sovereign cloud based on OpenStack. Implementation according to the standards of the Sovereign Cloud Stack, which were published under the leadership of the Open Source Business Alliance e. V. at the beginning of September 2022, has many advantages. The most important of these are interoperability, compatibility and the secure prevention of a vendor lock-in. It also meets all the criteria of the minimum requirements for the use of cloud offerings by the public sector.

At the same time, the noris Sovereign Cloud is designed to meet high security requirements. This is supported by the open architecture and development processes, as well as the provision of operational knowledge in the BSI certification according to IT-Grundschutz. Of course, the nSC is also GDPR and KRITIS-compliant.

Another advantage: our solution offers comprehensive Kubernetes support with advanced container orchestration. Use the efficiency and scalability of Kubernetes to optimally manage your applications and workloads. With virtualization, you can customize your resources and scale them as needed. From VPNs and IPSec to load balancing and firewall rules: we make sure your network runs smoothly.
