The joint project by Telekom and Google, initiated in 2021, aimed to provide a sovereign cloud solution for businesses, government agencies, and the healthcare sector in Germany. Insiders report that the collaboration in its current form will not continue.
The decision could have far-reaching implications for data security in Germany, as the sovereign cloud was considered a crucial element for protecting sensitive data. The exact reasons for the partnership’s failure have not been disclosed.
Additionally, Handelsblatt reports that Telekom and Google may have had differing views on the implementation and operation of the cloud solution. These differences could have led to the decision to terminate the project.
