FAQ – European cloud & sovereignty with T Cloud Public
Are the Open Telekom Cloud and T Cloud Public the same?
T Cloud Public is the next evolution of the Open Telekom Cloud, offering all familiar features—including secure European infrastructure, flexible cloud services, and enterprise capabilities—under a new, future-ready name.
For existing users, nothing changes regarding the services they are used to. The transition is seamless, and all ongoing projects and data remain fully accessible.
With T Cloud Public, you are choosing a modern, secure, and European cloud platform for all your business needs.
What is meant by a European cloud?
A European cloud is operated entirely within Europe, including data centres, identity management, dataprocessing and support. This ensures that all processes are subject exclusively to European data protectionlaws and regulatory requirements such as the GDPR. Learn more on the GDPR-compliant cloud for all industries page.
What is a sovereign cloud and why is is important for Europe?
A sovereign cloud protects data, metadata and operational processes from access outside European legal jurisdictions. It ensures transparency, auditability, and both technical and legal control. T Cloud Public meets these requirements through European-based operations, BSI-C5 certification, and open standards. Learn more about sovereignty.
How do Public, Private and Sovereign Clouds differ?
Public Cloud: Shared environment with high scalability for multiple organisations.
Private Cloud: Dedicated environment for a single organisation.
Sovereign Cloud: Public or private cloud with additional layers of protection for compliance, data protection and governance – fully under European control.
Why is data sovereignty so important for European organisations?
Because organisations need to ensure that their data is subject exclusively to European laws, particularly when it comes to AI applications, health data, financial data or government processes. A sovereign European cloud guarantees that data, model parameters and logs are not exposed to access under foreign laws (e.g., the Cloud Act). Learn more about IT security & compliance.
What advantages does a European cloud provider like T Cloud Public offer compared to US providers?
European clouds provide:
Protection against extraterritorial access rights
GDPR-compliant operations
Transparent auditability
European-based data centres and operational management

How can a company migrate step by step to the European cloud without interrupting operations?

Parallel operation
Gradual transfer of individual applications

What costs are incurred when using T Cloud Public?
Pricing is based on pay-as-you-go. Organisations only pay for the resources they use. T Cloud Public offers transparent pricing, discount models and capacity reservations. Learn more about pricing models.
Can I try T Cloud Public in advance?
