This project aims to provide a “Runtime as a Service” within German data centers, utilizing Secunet’s SINACloud and hardware-isolated Nvidia BlueField-3 DPUs to allow government agencies to use AI applications without building independent protective architectures. The service remains subject to testing, validation, and regulatory approval. By early November 2026, developments in German sovereign cloud services expanded. Delos Cloud, an SAP subsidiary, assumed full operational control of its sovereign Azure and Office 365 platform for the German public sector, implementing controls to restrict Microsoft’s access and ensure data remains under German control. Simultaneously, Secunet expanded its portfolio through two new partnerships: integrating the Fides Sovereign Governance platform for confidential corporate governance and partnering with ServiceNow to introduce AI-supported automated workflows for government, military, and critical infrastructure, with availability expected in 2027. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-02: Delos Cloud and Secunet expand sovereign cloud services in Germany Delos Cloud has taken full operational control of its sovereign Microsoft-based platform for German authorities, while Secunet expands its cloud offerings through new partnerships with Fides and ServiceNow. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/delos-cloud-and-secunet-expand-sovereign-cloud-services-in-germany ### 2026-10-29: Secunet, Red Hat, and Nvidia partner for classified AI cloud Secunet, Red Hat, Deepset, and Nvidia are developing a specialized AI cloud in Germany to enable government agencies to process classified data securely. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/secunet-red-hat-and-nvidia-partner-for-classified-ai-cloud --- Cite as: German sovereign and classified cloud developments.
