🚀 STACKIT NVIDIA #GTC26 At one thing became clear: AI is no longer just a technology wave it is an infrastructure race. And that has direct implications for Europe. ➡️ What this means for hyperscalers We are entering the decade of AI-native infrastructure: - Inference at scale becomes core - Data locality and compliance become critical - Control over the full stack becomes a competitive advantage The hyperscaler model is evolving from global scale alone to sovereign, specialized, and regionally anchored cloud ecosystems. STACKIT is building exactly for this next phase. As a European hyperscaler, our focus is clear: ✔️ Sovereign cloud infrastructure aligned with European regulation ✔️ Trusted environment for sensitive data and AI workloads ✔️ Scalable platform for enterprise AI adoption ✔️ Independence in a rapidly consolidating global market Because in the AI era, infrastructure equals strategic autonomy. Europe has the opportunity — and responsibility — to shape its own digital backbone. #GTC26 reinforced our conviction: The future of AI in Europe will not just be built on models, but on who provides the infrastructure they run on. https://lnkd.in/du4Hmp3b #STACKIT #NVIDIAGTC #AI #Cloud #Hyperscaler #DigitalSovereignty #EuropeanCloud #STACKIT #SCHWARZGRUPPE #SCHWARZDIGITS Schwarz Digits

Now that I got a #datalakehouse in a #Europeancloud I want more: some actual data to query, #pyspark and notebooks and #datavisualisation. In this blogpost I get Project Jupyter Hub running, I get open data from the #EuropeanParliament and try to visualise that data in #PowerBI. Getting the connection working turned out to be an expensive affair.

Data engineering in the European cloud – Part 3: Adding data and visualisations – Expedition Data

My first #datalakehouse in a #Europeancloud is running! In Part 1 I explained my plan for this. I envisioned an architecture with Kubernetes , #objectstorage, #Nessie and #Trino. My first attempt was at the French cloud provider Scaleway. And in this episode I explain how I got it running.

Cloud Kootwijk: Alles hangt af van de verkiezingen - Bert Hubert's writings

Na enige tijd weer een update: hoe gaat het met Cloud Kootwijk? En wat heeft dat met de verkiezingen te maken? tl;dr: Er zijn mensen op ministeries hard aan het schrijven over een Rijkscloud, maar er is geen geld. De politiek heeft er ondertussen ook geen aandacht voor, en de politieke partijen hebben hun succesvolle digitale kandidaten veelal op onverkiesbare plekken gezet. Als we niet opletten is er in de nieuwe Tweede Kamer ook geen aandacht meer voor Cloud Kootwijk.

EUROPEAN CLOUD

Stop romanticizing and start collaborating: https://lnkd.in/ef2FyMuk

More than 70% of Europe’s cloud infrastructure is operated by non-European providers. Microsoft alone accounts for over 80% of business email in some EU member states. The result? Strategic dependencies in places we can’t afford them—especially in communication.

European sovereignty will only work if we act together.

We’re ready to contribute. Are you?

Leave the Room: A Reality Check on European Cloud Alternatives

The cloud computing landscape reveals a dramatic imbalance: US hyperscalers control 72% of the European cloud market, while European providers have shrunk to just 13% market share - a decline from 27% since 2017. Globally, the dominance is even more pronounced, with US providers holding approximatel

What does true sovereignty in tech really mean? For us it goes beyond where data is stored. It’s about who controls it, how it’s processed, and which values guide those choices.

In this interview with Security Innovation Stories, our co-founder Diana Krieger shares why we’ve spent over a decade building a privacy-first alternative to Big Tech—and why digital sovereignty is not a buzzword, but a responsibility. https://www.securityinnovationstories.com/diana-krieger-digitale-soevereiniteit-begint-bij-je-mailbox/ #DigitalSovereignty #PrivacyByDesign #EuropeanCloud

Digitale Souveränität und EuroStack: Wie kann Europa digital unabhängiger werden?

Cloud-Dienste und Plattformen kommen aus den USA, Mikrochips aus Taiwan, Seltene Erden aus China. Die Digitalisierung hat zu massiven Abhängigkeiten geführt, von denen Europa sich spätestens seit Donald Trumps Amtsantritt lösen will. Welche Konzepte gibt es dafür?
