Certified solution to SCS standards

ScaleUp Open Cloud

The ScaleUp Open Cloud is one of the first three public clouds in Germany to be certified to the SCS KaaS standard, built on vendor-neutral OCP hardware and using open software standards throughout. Demanding workloads benefit from a cloud-native environment free from vendor lock-in, with full data sovereignty and built-in resilience.

Area of application: Highly available business cloud for digitally sovereign business models, AI workloads and regulated sectors (healthcare, finance, government)

The ScaleUp Open Cloud meets the requirements of the SCS-compatible KaaS standards of the Sovereign Cloud Stack and is certified accordingly.

It supports an interoperable cloud infrastructure and meets key requirements for openness, transparency and compliance with standards.

Target group

Use cases

Managed Kubernetes: A fully SCS-compliant and certified Kubernetes-as-a-Service (KaaS) platform

Cloud-native workloads: Running modern, containerised applications on an open, standardised platform

Sensitive and regulated workloads: SCS-compliant operations for sectors with heightened compliance requirements (including the GDPR, NIS 2 and the ISO 27001 framework)

Cloud migration: Migrations from VMware, on-premises or other cloud environments – SCS-compliant and in hybrid setups

Personalised SCS advice: Support for the targeted implementation of SCS standards, tailored to existing infrastructure and requirements

Added value

Direct point of contact via experienced cloud engineers / cloud architects: There are no outsourced support levels.

No hidden dependencies: No vendor lock-in, no unilateral licence changes, full audit access. Kubernetes configurations follow the ‘security by default’ principle and reduce the manual hardening effort required on the customer’s part.

Transparent advice: Recommendations are based on actual needs – not on upselling. Customers receive an honest assessment of which solution is best suited to their specific use case.

Flexible integration: Public cloud, private cloud and hybrid set-ups can be combined with server colocation, dedicated lines, bare metal and managed services. Existing infrastructure is integrated, not necessarily replaced.
