CANCOM Enhances Multi-Cloud Offering with STACKIT, Providing High-Security European Cloud Infrastructure for Sensitive Data

(IN BRIEF) CANCOM has expanded its Cloud Marketplace by adding STACKIT, a fully European cloud platform hosted in Germany and Austria that delivers high levels of data sovereignty, security and regulatory compliance. STACKIT provides a genuine alternative to global hyperscalers and is backed by the Schwarz Group’s financial stability. Through the CANCOM Cloud Marketplace, companies and public-sector organizations can integrate STACKIT into a flexible multi-cloud strategy that ensures GDPR compliance and shields data from non-European access laws such as the CLOUD Act. STACKIT offers extensive certifications—including BSI C5, ISO 27001 and ISAE 3000—and operates geo-redundant data centers with availability up to 99.98%. The platform supports open technologies like Kubernetes, features transparent pay-as-you-go pricing and provides industry-specific solutions for public administration, critical infrastructure, media workflows and enterprise applications. Leaders from CANCOM and STACKIT emphasized that the partnership supports Europe’s goal of strengthening digital independence and expanding access to sovereign cloud infrastructures. The CANCOM Cloud Marketplace consolidates multi-cloud management and gives customers a unified, scalable and compliant cloud environment.

(PRESS RELEASE) MUNICH, 25-Nov-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — CANCOM has expanded its Cloud Marketplace by integrating STACKIT, giving companies access to a fully European cloud platform built around data sovereignty, regulatory compliance and high-security standards. With infrastructure hosted exclusively in Germany and Austria, STACKIT provides organizations, public-sector institutions and regulated industries with a GDPR-compliant alternative to non-European hyperscalers, supported by the financial stability of the Schwarz Group.

Through the CANCOM Cloud Marketplace, customers can now tap into STACKIT’s complete cloud services while combining them with offerings from international cloud providers, enabling a flexible and scalable multi-cloud strategy. The addition of STACKIT ensures that businesses working with sensitive or highly regulated data can keep information under European jurisdiction and avoid exposure to non-EU authorities, including the U.S. CLOUD Act.

Peter Weisbach, Senior Vice President Unified Commerce at CANCOM, emphasized the growing importance of sovereign cloud technologies: “Data sovereignty is becoming increasingly central to meeting IT compliance requirements. Demand continues to rise, particularly in the public sector, critical infrastructure and the media industry. By integrating STACKIT, we are widening our multi-cloud portfolio and offering customers a strong, compliant and flexible solution from a single provider.”

Bernd Wagner, CEO of STACKIT and Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Schwarz Digits, highlighted the strategic significance of the partnership, noting that it strengthens the shared ambition to build a robust European cloud ecosystem. The collaboration enables sovereign cloud infrastructures to reach a wider user base, providing a credible alternative to non-European hyperscalers and reinforcing Europe’s digital independence.

STACKIT’s platform meets some of the highest security and compliance benchmarks in the region, including BSI C5 certification, confidential computing capabilities and recognition from backup provider VERITAS. Additional certifications—ISO 27001, ISO 20000, ISAE 3000 (SOC 2), and ISAE 3402—demonstrate a commitment to transparent and verifiable data protection. Geo-redundant data centers in Germany and Austria ensure availability levels of up to 99.98%.

Technologically, STACKIT emphasizes open-standards architecture, including Kubernetes-based services and straightforward pay-as-you-go pricing. This reduces vendor lock-in and enables organisations to migrate applications between providers more easily. As an in-house cloud originally designed for Lidl and Kaufland, STACKIT benefits from the long-term financial backing and operational maturity of the Schwarz Group.

STACKIT also provides specialized solutions tailored to industry-specific needs. For the public sector and critical infrastructure, STACKIT works with organizations such as govdigital, Dataport and Wire and supports sovereign AI-assisted tools. In the media sector, the company is collaborating with Qvest to deliver GDPR-compliant media-cloud infrastructure optimized for hybrid multi-cloud workflows. Additional industry solutions include sovereign ERP and BI environments developed with partners such as SAP and MicroStrategy. Deloitte further supports customers with consulting services in cloud governance, compliance, multi-cloud design and certification processes.

The CANCOM Cloud Marketplace allows businesses to manage their entire multi-cloud architecture from a single platform, combining sovereign services like STACKIT with global cloud offerings. Customers can scale resources dynamically, manage all cloud environments under one consolidated billing structure and maintain maximum control over digital sovereignty while leveraging modern cloud technologies.
