Public Cloud Services – Securely Integrate Flexible Cloud Resources into Your IT Infrastructure
Scalable, secure, and customized to meet your specific needs—GRASS-MERKUR seamlessly integrates public cloud resources with your existing IT infrastructure.
Future-Proof Cloud Solutions
Use the HAN-Cloud to Flexibly Integrate the Right Public Cloud Services
Today, companies need IT infrastructures that can scale flexibly, accelerate innovation, and adapt quickly to new requirements. Public cloud services offer virtually unlimited scalability and a wide range of modern cloud services to meet these needs.
However, to make the most of this potential, public cloud connections must be carefully planned, seamlessly integrated, and professionally managed. This is exactly where GRASS-MERKUR comes in.
With our HAN-Cloud, operated in our own data center, we lay the foundation for this: Through the HAN-CIX, we connect additional public cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure or AWS directly and with high performance as needed.
In doing so, we ensure that public cloud services integrate seamlessly with your existing infrastructure, security requirements, and business processes.

HAN-Cloud: Hybrid and Scalable with Azure, AWS and Others
Today, companies need an IT infrastructure that can scale flexibly and adapt quickly to new requirements. With the HAN-Cloud, GRASS-MERKUR offers exactly that: public cloud services operated directly in its own data center—with full control over security, performance, and data location.
Those who also wish to use hyperscalers such as Microsoft Azure or AWS can connect them directly within the data center via HAN-CIX/DE-CIX with very low latency. This creates a hybrid cloud environment in which HAN-Cloud and hyperscaler services are available in parallel and can be combined depending on the use case.
Upon request, we handle planning and integration—from strategy through connectivity to ongoing operations—to ensure your IT environment integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure, security requirements, and business processes.

Hybrid Cloud & HAN-CIX
Hyperscaler Integration into Your Existing IT Infrastructure
The introduction of public cloud services does not mean replacing existing systems.
Rather, it is about intelligently connecting local infrastructure, data centers and the cloud. Via HAN-CIX/DE-CIX we seamlessly integrate hyperscalers such as Microsoft Azure or AWS into your existing IT landscape and create secure connections between on-premises systems, the HAN Cloud and public cloud services.
Typical connections
- On-premises server environments
- HAN Cloud (private/hybrid cloud)
- Corporate networks
- Microsoft Azure
- AWS
- Other public cloud providers
- Backup and recovery solutions
Extend existing systems intelligently: connect your infrastructure securely to the public cloud services of your choice.
Cloud Security
Security and Governance in the Public Cloud
A successful public cloud strategy takes data protection, information security and compliance into account from the very beginning. Together we develop security and governance frameworks that support the controlled use of Microsoft Azure.
In doing so we establish clear structures for user rights, network access, identities and the secure operation of your cloud resources.
Our areas of focus
- Identity & Access Management
- Network and security concepts
- Role and permission management
- Compliance requirements
- Governance guidelines
- Documented cloud processes
Operating the cloud securely and in compliance: we help you build your public cloud environment securely and sustainably.
Modern Cloud Concepts
Public Cloud as Part of Your Cloud Strategy
Not every application automatically belongs in the public cloud. Together, we’ll analyze your existing infrastructure and develop a cloud strategy that leverages the public cloud exactly where it offers the greatest value.
When combined with private or hybrid cloud models, this results in high-performance architectures that optimally balance flexibility, security, and cost-effectiveness.
