Deutsche Telekom has integrated its B2B cloud services into a unified platform called T Cloud. This strategic move aims to offer comprehensive public and private cloud solutions tailored for European enterprises. By consolidating its resources under T Cloud, the company promises enhanced cloud offerings aligned with European legal standards.
Lars Neumann will spearhead T Cloud. He holds responsibility for scaling, sales, and operations across all cloud segments. This centralization facilitates seamless access to cloud services for enterprises, accommodating varied data sovereignty needs.
“The European market is searching for dependable, sovereign substitutes to U.S. hyperscalers,” remarked Rodrigo Diehl, CEO at Deutsche Telekom Deutschland. “Through T Cloud, we are amalgamating the cloud expertise of the Deutsche Telekom Group to complement our leading network in Europe.”
T Cloud offers businesses the flexibility to customize multi-cloud environments. These environments support regulatory compliance while enhancing operational efficiency. Ferri Abolhassan, CEO at T-Systems, highlighted their commitment to providing “Made in Germany” digital solutions, easing digital transformation for their clients.
Simultaneously, Deutsche Telekom is collaborating with Nvidia to build Europe’s first industrial AI cloud. This venture aims to cater to Germany’s and mainland Europe’s manufacturing sector. The objective is to create a secure, sovereign AI infrastructure to manage heavy industrial workloads.
This AI initiative, expected to be operational by 2026, will see Deutsche Telekom provide the data centers, sell, and operate their computing capacities. Meanwhile, Nvidia will contribute with both hardware and software acceleration tailored for AI tasks.
Timotheus Höttges, CEO at Deutsche Telekom, emphasized the urgency: “Europe’s technological future requires rapid action. We need to harness AI opportunities swiftly to reshape our industries and secure a dominant position in the global tech arena.”
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, mentioned, “In the age of AI, manufacturers need dual factories: one for production and one for the intelligence that enables it.” This industrial AI infrastructure will empower Europe’s leading industrial entities to drive AI-led manufacturing advancements.
