New name, proven strength: Why Open Telekom Cloud is becoming T Cloud Public

In this article, you’ll learn

• why Open Telekom Cloud is now called T Cloud Public,
• how T Cloud Public combines hyperscaler-grade performance with European control
• and why the platform is perfect for multi-cloud strategies.

When Open Telekom Cloud, after ten years of success, becomes T Cloud Public, we are sending a clear signal – to the market, our customers and partners, and especially to everyone wanting to shape their digital future themselves. Because the world is constantly changing, and so are we.

For a decade, Open Telekom Cloud has been a fixture in the European cloud market. More than 4,000 business customers rely on our public cloud infrastructure – and for good reason. What started in 2016 as a public cloud solution for highly regulated industries has now evolved into a powerful European hyperscaler alternative: scalable, high-performance and packed with features that stand up to scrutiny. 

Studies confirm that, as the only European public cloud, we compete technologically with US hyperscalers – and sometimes even outperform them. According to market analysts at ISG, we are better positioned than Google; Forrester ranks us at the top of European public cloud platforms.

Ongoing market changes, geopolitics, new security requirements and artificial intelligence are fundamentally transforming our world – and with it, the demands on companies’ digital infrastructure. Digital sovereignty is no longer a concern only for highly regulated organizations such as banks, insurers, or public authorities.

Today, organizations of all sizes and across all sectors are asking a central question: Do we really want to entrust our digital foundation – and thus our digital future – to a handful of global cloud providers? Or do we want to retain control ourselves? For many companies, it’s no longer just about compliance or data protection – it’s about strategic sovereignty.

That means the ability to plan economically, even when geopolitical conditions change. It’s about resilience in volatile markets and the freedom to make technology decisions flexibly – without dependencies that could become a business risk tomorrow.

What happens if regulatory requirements for cloud services in other markets suddenly change? If a cloud provider alters its strategy or consolidates services? Businesses in the cloud environment are asking varied and complex questions – and T Cloud Public provides the right answers.

Forward-thinking companies need more than just a cloud. They need a strategic alternative that combines innovation and independence. T Cloud Public is aimed at all organizations that expect hyperscaler performance, but at the same time want to shape their digital future autonomously – without compromise.

Another key feature is seamless integration into multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies. Open standards such as OpenStack prevent vendor lock-in and provide high portability for applications and workloads across different cloud environments. Organizations that use global hyperscalers, for example, can integrate T Cloud Public into their cloud strategy, enabling them to establish a sovereign European cloud pillar. This means decision-makers keep control – technically, economically, and strategically. You decide which workloads run where or where your business data resides, without being dependent on a single cloud provider.

For our customers and partners, one thing is crucial: We add innovation without losing any of the features you value the most.

T Cloud Public is more than a new name – it’s an invitation. Choose a cloud that combines performance, innovation, and strategic independence. Retain control of your digital future – and enter the next decade together with us.
