Question 1

Data Sovereignty: Do I have my own cloud space at Anhalt Intelligence?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolute data sovereignty is our performance promise. At Anhalt Intelligence, you get a dedicated cloud environment that guarantees strict logical and, if desired, physical separation of your data from other systems. For individual requests, we would be happy if you would contact us.

Unlike traditional public cloud providers, we give you full control over storage location and access permissions. Our architecture is designed to ensure that:

No unauthorized data processing by third parties takes place.
All instances are operated in accordance with German (BDSG) and European data protection standards (GDPR).
You have full administrative control over your workloads at all times (through our user data manifest)

This not only ensures that you meet your compliance requirements, but also protects your most valuable asset: your intellectual property and information.

Question 2

Open-source policy: Does Anhalt Intelligence work with free and independent cloud software?

Accepted Answer

Anhalt Intelligence pursues a consistent open source first strategy. We firmly believe that technological independence can only be achieved through the use of free and independent software.

Our cloud stacks are based on proven open source technologies (such as OpenStack, Kubernetes, Nextcloud, Fediverse interfaces such as ActivityPub), which offers our customers decisive advantages:

Avoiding vendor lock-in: You are not tied to the proprietary licenses or pricing models of a single manufacturer. You can switch providers at any time, or better yet, simply connect with other users via the Fediverse interfaces.
Security through transparency: The source code is available for inspection and is constantly checked for security vulnerabilities by a global community.
Speed of innovation: By using free software, you benefit directly from the latest developments from a global community of developers.

Our experts ensure the professional hardening and maintenance of all systems, allowing you to combine the freedom of open source with the reliability of an enterprise solution.

Question 3

Are Anhalt Intelligence's cloud products interoperable?

Accepted Answer

The interoperability of our systems—such as the CAMPUS home office cloud or our AI colleagues MAIK—is a central component of our architecture design. We understand that modern IT landscapes are often designed as hybrid or multi-cloud strategies.

That’s why we rely on standardized interfaces (APIs) and open protocols. For you, this means:

Seamless integration: Our cloud products can be linked to your existing on-premise systems or other cloud services.
Easy migration: By using industry standards, data transfer and application portability are possible at any time with minimal technological effort.
Future-proof: Thanks to high interoperability, your IT infrastructure remains flexible and adaptable to future technological trends.

Anhalt Intelligence ensures that your data is not trapped in a “silo” but can actively contribute to the success of your business – wherever it is needed.

Question 4

Sustainability & Green IT at Anhalt Intelligence

Accepted Answer

Digital transformation and environmental responsibility go hand in hand for us. We rely on Green IT “Made in Germany” to consistently minimize the carbon footprint of your digital infrastructure.

The efficiency of our cloud offerings is based on state-of-the-art integration with smart grids. Unlike traditional data centers, our partner infrastructures use digital control technologies to optimize energy flow in real time.

Why this is important for you:

PUE values from 1.1 to 1.15: Through intelligent load distribution and modern cooling, we achieve power usage effectiveness that is up to eight times more economical than the industry average.
Load management: Smart grids make it possible to prioritize computationally intensive processes when there is a surplus of renewable energy in the grid.
Grid stability: Our systems act as a flexible part of the energy grid, buffering peaks and thus actively contributing to regional supply security in Germany.

This technological symbiosis of cloud computing and smart grid analytics not only reduces operating costs, but also makes a measurable contribution to global CO₂ reduction.

Question 5

Renewable energies: Where does the electricity for my cloud come from?

Accepted Answer

Transparency is at the heart of our sustainability strategy. The electricity for your cloud instances at Anhalt Intelligence comes from 100% certified, sustainable hydropower. We source our energy exclusively from regional suppliers in Germany who meet the following criteria: CO2-free generation: The supply comes from nearby run-of-river power plants (e.g., at locations such as Griesheim, Enzberg, or Gaggenau).

Certified sustainability: Our data center partners are TÜV-certified and meet the strictest environmental requirements.
No fossil fuels: We completely refrain from using electricity from coal, gas, or nuclear power.

In addition, as a company based in Saxony-Anhalt, we take a holistic approach: we promote reforestation projects and support our banking partners in issuing green bonds. When you choose Anhalt Intelligence, you are choosing a cloud solution that actively works toward the goal of saving over 1.5 million tons of CO₂ annually through efficient remote work tools and green infrastructure.

Question 7

Does Anhalt Intelligence comply with all data protection laws (GDPR)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely. As a German company headquartered in Halle (Saale), Anhalt Intelligence is directly subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), as well as other laws, regulations, and directives applicable in Germany and the European Union.

What sets us apart from international hyperscalers:

feature	Anhalt Intelligence	US cloud provider
server location	100% Germany	Frequently abroad / third countries
Risk posed by the US CLOUD Act	No (completely sovereign)	Yes (US government access)
Sub-data processing contracts	Standard according to Art. 28 GDPR	Complex to questionable contractual arrangements
AI data protection	No training on user data	Often unclear / Opt-out required

Our zero-knowledge policy ensures that only you have control over your data. Even our administrators do not have access to encrypted content. For our AI solutions such as MAIK, your data remains in your instance. There is no cross-model training with your sensitive company data. This means we already meet the requirements for Trustworthy AI in accordance with the EU AI Act.
