Sovereign cloud platform secures the resilience of critical energy grids through hybrid architectures
The establishment of a KRITIS-compliant platform on STACKIT enables high-availability operation of electricity and gas grids. By separating local control and cloud-based analytics, innovation capacity is increased, while a cloud-based backup control room guarantees security of supply even in crisis scenarios.
Performance metrics
Reduction of critical IT incidents by 30 to 50 percent through modern, resilient system architectures. Guarantee of extremely high availability of 99.999 percent for mission-critical applications. 20 to 40 percent reduction in IT operating costs through the consolidation of legacy infrastructures. Full fulfillment of all regulatory KRITIS requirements and data sovereignty mandates.

Use case in detail
Rigid legacy systems jeopardize security of supply
Due to decentralized generation and smart grids, energy grid operation is under enormous pressure to change, which classic on-premises systems can no longer handle. These legacy structures are inflexible, expensive to maintain, and increasingly collide with strict sovereignty mandates for critical infrastructures. The consequences are limited innovation capacity and rising risks for grid stability.
Hybrid cloud strategy for high-availability control rooms
The solution relies on a hybrid model in which immediate control systems remain local, while computationally intensive processes such as forecasting and market integration are outsourced to STACKIT. A "last-resort control center" in the cloud serves as a central security component, taking over operations in an emergency. The architecture is specifically tailored to the high security standards of the KRITIS environment.
Future-proof grid operation through maximum agility
The platform creates the foundation for an economical grid operation that can react quickly to new market conditions. Due to the increased deployment frequency, new applications can be used productively much faster, securing the technological leadership of the grid operator. In the long term, the transformation leads to a resilient infrastructure that meets the highest demands both regulatorily and operationally.
