Sovereign Storage Architecture for Government & Public Sector

Full operational control and long-term lifecycle stability for public authorities.

Digital sovereignty starts with data that remains under your operational control - in auditable and vendor-neutral infrastructure. Our new Government & Public Sector Flyer outlines how public administrations, municipal IT providers, and critical infrastructure operators can modernize their data layer without proprietary lock-in.

Public-sector IT teams face a complex set of demands: scaling digital citizen services while maintaining strict control over data residency, regulatory compliance, and long-term infrastructure budgets. Proprietary storage silos and hyperscaler dependencies often limit operational flexibility and increase long-term risk.

Why Open Source Is Now a Procurement Advantage

Recent legal assessments - including a landmark legal opinion for the German Bundestag on public IT procurement - highlight that public authorities have strong legal grounds to prioritize open-source architectures to ensure digital sovereignty and avoid vendor lock-in. Our 2-page flyer shows how to translate this strategic mandate into a production-ready storage foundation.

Built on Three Core Pillars

In our concise 2-pager, we detail how CLYSO Enterprise Storage (CES) bridges open-source innovation with enterprise-grade reliability for public authorities:

  • Control Over Data Residency & Hardware Choice: Maintain greater control over where your data lives and which hardware you deploy, reducing long-term vendor dependency.

  • Validated Enterprise Platform (CES): Benefit from hardened Ceph releases, predictable lifecycle management, and 24/7 expert engineering support.

  • Strategic Upstream Influence: Through active involvement in the Ceph Foundation, CLYSO brings public-sector priorities - such as stability, auditability, and lifecycle control - directly into the upstream roadmap.

Key Public-Sector Use Cases Covered

Whether you are building new digital citizen portals or safeguarding critical infrastructure, the flyer highlights four core operational scenarios:

  • E-Government & Citizen Services: S3-compliant object storage for digital records, e-files, and citizen portals.

  • Law Enforcement & Public Safety: Highly scalable storage architectures tailored for forensic video ingestion and evidence preservation.

  • Cyber Resilience: Immutable recovery points and protected backup designs help restore essential services after ransomware incidents.

  • Modernization & Sovereign Cloud: Support planned VMware-exit programmes by reducing storage dependency and enabling sovereign cloud architectures.
