Schwarz Digits Adds Celonis, Snowflake to STACKIT Cloud
Schwarz Digits is expanding its STACKIT cloud platform by integrating Celonis and Snowflake to create an open data and AI ecosystem for enterprises and public institutions. Celonis will run as a single-tenant solution on STACKIT, offering process intelligence and the Celonis Context Model on sovereign infrastructure. Snowflake will be integrated in phases, starting with customer data stored in the open Apache Iceberg format and integration with STACKIT's key management system. The long-term goal is to operate the AI Data Platform natively on STACKIT, ensuring data storage and processing remain on European infrastructure, addressing data protection, compliance, and sovereignty requirements. This move positions STACKIT as a counter-model to closed platform ecosystems, allowing customers to combine various AI and data services.
Partnership between major tech players to enhance a European cloud platform with advanced data and AI capabilities, relevant for data sovereignty and enterprise adoption.
