Hybrid Cloud

The Ideal Combination of Private Cloud,
Public Cloud and In-House IT Infrastructure

The best of both worlds — GRASS-MERKUR combines public and private cloud resources into a flexible, secure, end-to-end solution.

Hybrid Cloud Services

Your Cloud. Your Rules. Full Control in German Data Centers.

Not every application belongs in the public cloud—and not every workload needs to be run in your own data center.

A hybrid cloud strategy combines the best of both worlds: maximum flexibility, high security, and full control over business-critical data.

GRASS-MERKUR develops and operates high-performance hybrid cloud solutions that intelligently connect your existing IT infrastructure with modern cloud platforms.

Whether it’s Microsoft Azure, a private cloud, or existing on-premises systems—we integrate your entire infrastructure into a high-performance, comprehensive solution.

Flexible Cloud Services

Sovereign Control for Sensitive Workloads

Digital sovereignty means retaining control over data, infrastructure and operational processes. Our hybrid cloud helps companies keep sensitive workloads deliberately in their own data center or in the private cloud while using the scalability of the public cloud — with clearly defined operating standards and high security standards.

This is particularly relevant for industries such as:

  • Finance and insurance
  • Healthcare
  • Public administration
  • Manufacturing
  • Critical infrastructure
  • Research and education
  • IT and software companies

Custom Cloud Architecture

A Structured Hybrid Cloud Strategy

Every company pursues different goals when digitizing its IT landscape. Together we develop a customized hybrid cloud strategy based on your requirements.

In doing so we take into account:

  • Existing infrastructure
  • Applications and workloads
  • Security requirements
  • Compliance obligations
  • Performance
  • Cost potential
  • Future growth plans


The result is a robust hybrid cloud architecture with a clear migration strategy.
