Ranked by feature parity + compliance score. Migration friction is weighted higher than feature breadth.
Deutsche Telekom's OpenStack public cloud (T-Systems), Biere + Magdeburg DCs, ISO 27001 + BSI C5 + TISAX; rebranded from Open Telekom Cloud.
German sovereign cloud built by Schwarz Digits (Lidl/Kaufland parent), 4 EU DCs, EU Cloud III €180M winner with SEAL-3 highest rating.
French sovereign cloud (Iliad-owned, Xavier Niel), ANSSI SecNumCloud + HDS + ISO 27001; winner of €180M EU Cloud III tender.
For every product we read the public DPA, sub-processors document, hosting region declaration, and corporate ownership records. Each is timestamped. Compliance score is editorial, re-verified quarterly. We never accept self-attestation.
