Strategic Autonomy: Operational Freedom over Dependence
Digital sovereignty cannot be achieved through the user interface alone. Merely replacing software applications only shifts technological dependencies deeper into the stack. True autonomy must be built from the ground up, starting fundamentally with complete control over the storage layer.
Ceph has established itself as the default standard: as the core component of the Sovereign Cloud Stack (SCS) and the reference architecture for the German Federal Administration Cloud (DVC), it provides the vendor-independent foundation for a future-proof IT infrastructure.
Tailored Infrastructure: The Core Pillars for Sovereign Public Sector Data
Modern storage solutions must balance extreme scalability with maximum security:
Ransomware Resilience
Native security through immutable snapshots and air-gapped designs for rapid system recovery.
AI-Readiness
High-performance NVMe architectures to deliver the required throughput for automated administrative workflows and AI compute workloads.
Certified Compliance
Full adherence to strict national baselines (e.g., BSI IT-Grundschutz), critical infrastructure mandates (KRITIS), NIS 2, and DORA frameworks.
Sustainability (Green IT)
Software-Defined Storage (SDS) maximizes hardware resource utilization and extends physical lifecycle durability beyond 7 years.
Technological Control: CES & Ceph Upstream
CLYSO makes open-source predictable, securing the deployment of highly scalable storage clusters through deep engineering expertise and a direct impact on development.
CES (CLYSO Enterprise Storage)
A fully validated distribution tailored for public authorities that translates Ceph technology into mission-critical operations. We share operational responsibility across design, performance, and 24/7 enterprise support.
Strategic Upstream Governance
As an active member of the Ceph Foundation Board, we steer the global roadmap to ensure that public sector requirements like long-term stability and auditability are integrated directly into the core project.
Hardened Infrastructure
We systematically review and validate the upstream source code for stability and vulnerabilities before any version is cleared for your production environments.
Platform Independence
CES strictly decouples the data layer from the physical hardware, allowing seamless transitions between virtualization platforms (e.g., a VMware exit) to OpenStack or Kubernetes without requiring data migration.
Typical Use Cases
Our solutions are optimized for the data-intensive workloads of modern public administrations:
E-Government
S3-compliant object storage for digital records and compliant citizen portals.
Smart City & Research
High-performance NVMe platforms handling spatial data analytics and AI-driven telemetry.
Law Enforcement
Highly scalable storage designed for massive ingestion of forensic video and evidentiary assets.
Compliant Archiving
Cost-effective long-term stability utilizing native WORM capabilities and cold cloud architectures.
Cyber Resilience
Protection of vital services against ransomware via non-erasable backups and rapid recovery paths.
