Linux & OpenSource · CloudFaktor business division
Sovereign IT
Sovereign IT means: you decide for yourself where your data is stored, which software you use and with whom you work. Since 2026, our CloudFaktor business division has brought together consulting on Linux and OpenSource for this purpose and guides small and medium-sized enterprises step by step out of vendor dependency.
Our solutions
Sovereign IT from a single source
From analysis to ongoing operation: CloudFaktor accompanies you all the way to an IT that you control yourself.
Virtualisation with Proxmox
Proxmox VE as an alternative to VMware, on your hardware or in the CloudFaktor cloud at IONOS. Existing VMware machines are taken over without reinstallation, with a backup before every step.
Security & NIS2
Hardening according to BSI IT-Grundschutz (baseline protection of the German Federal Office for Information Security), backup and disaster recovery. In addition, NIS2 classification under § 28 BSIG (German Act on the Federal Office for Information Security), from the quick check to ongoing evidence.
Digital sovereignty
