We are excited to announce a new strategic partnership with STACKIT, the cloud and colocation provider of the Schwarz Group, Europe’s largest retail ecosystem, and the force behind global brands like Lidl and Kaufland.

This collaboration allows us to offer our AI-ready geospatial intelligence platforms on a cloud infrastructure that is secure, highly scalable, and 100% committed to European data sovereignty.

Why STACKIT?

STACKIT represents a new standard for European cloud services, and they solve a specific challenge: providing industrial-scale performance while maintaining strict independence from non-European hyperscalers.

As part of the Schwarz Group, STACKIT brings a level of reliability and investment that is rare in the market. Key advantages include:

  • True data sovereignty: Fully GDPR-compliant infrastructure with ISO-certified data centers located exclusively in Germany and Austria.
  • Enterprise-grade performance: Originally developed to run the massive workloads of Lidl and Kaufland, STACKIT is proven to handle the highest levels of demand.
  • Open technology: Built on open-source foundations like Kubernetes and OpenStack, ensuring technical flexibility and no vendor lock-in.
  • Stability and independence: Financed by the Schwarz Group’s own capital rather than venture funding, ensuring long-term strategic stability for its partners.

What This Means for Quarticle Clients

By offering our platform on STACKIT, we are providing our clients with a powerful new deployment option.

  • Sovereign infrastructure: Deploy Qarta, Graph, RAPID, and EventHub on a fully European-owned stack, meeting the most stringent regulatory and data residency requirements.
  • Seamless integration: Our shared commitment to Kubernetes means that Quarticle’s cloud-native architecture runs natively and efficiently on STACKIT.
  • Scalability without compromise: Whether you are running high-speed underwriting checks or complex catastrophe modeling, the infrastructure scales automatically to meet your needs.
  • Strategic control: We are giving organizations a real alternative to US-based providers, allowing them to keep full control over their data and long-term infrastructure strategy.

A Shared Vision for the Future

Quarticle and STACKIT are built on the same core principles: open technology, high performance, and European data governance. Together, we are enabling our clients to build AI-ready geospatial platforms with total confidence and zero dependence on external hyperscalers. This partnership is about setting a new standard for how geospatial intelligence is deployed in Europe: open, scalable, and sovereign.
