Deutsche Telekom is introducing T Cloud, a new suite of cloud solutions aimed at strengthening Europe’s digital independence. The announcement will take place at Digital X in Cologne on September 10. This move responds to concerns highlighted in the Draghi Report from 2024, which pointed out the European Union’s reliance on foreign technology for digital products and infrastructure. Such dependency exposes businesses and governments to financial, operational, and strategic risks.
T Cloud brings together all of Deutsche Telekom’s cloud offerings under one platform. The service emphasizes security, stability, and scalability for customers by integrating multiple platforms and services into a partner ecosystem. Alongside hyperscaler cloud solutions and consulting services, T Cloud also includes Telekom’s proprietary cloud infrastructures.
The portfolio consists of several components:
– T Cloud Service assists customers in selecting appropriate solutions based on their workflow and data type, as well as migration support.
– T Cloud Public provides European public cloud solutions designed for high security and compliance needs, operated from certified data centers in Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.
– T Cloud Private offers a private platform targeted at businesses seeking secure migration of SAP applications and support for digital transformation.
– T Cloud AI is set to launch an Industrial AI Cloud with NVIDIA from 2026 to deliver secure infrastructure for various operations including sales, security, and artificial intelligence.
“T Cloud is the answer to Europe’s call for greater digital self-determination. T Cloud combines all of Telekom’s cloud expertise in individually combinable packages – for digital sovereignty, security, and economic transformation,” says Ferri Abolhassan, Member of the Board of Management of Deutsche Telekom and CEO of T-Systems.
“T Cloud offers security in line with European standards – GDPR-compliant, certified, and transparent. It protects sensitive data and builds trust as the basis for digital self-determination,” adds Rodrigo Diehl, Head of Telekom Deutschland and Member of the Board of Management of Deutsche Telekom.
“T Cloud combines economically viable cloud solutions for medium-sized and large enterprises,” says Lars Neumann, Head of T Cloud. “It combines digital sovereignty with investment security and sustainable benefits – locally anchored, globally connectable, tailored to the needs of the customer.”
T Cloud allows companies to tailor their use according to industry requirements or regulatory environments while maintaining control over infrastructure and data flows without vendor lock-in. Customers can select among different levels or combinations: data sovereignty (control over data), operational sovereignty (independent management of critical infrastructure), technology sovereignty (control over key technologies), or opt for all three.
A dedicated European team supports clients throughout their transition to sovereign solutions. Security measures include GDPR-compliant infrastructure with zero-trust architecture alongside continuous monitoring from certified European data centers by a Security Operations Center.
