Private Cloud migration to optimize costs and ensure data security
Industry: IT & Software Providers
dataglobal Group, headquartered in Heilbronn, is one of the leading technology providers in the field of Information Governance.
With solutions for automated archiving, intelligent data classification, and compliant information processing, dataglobal helps enterprise customers securely and sustainably digitize their data processes.
As part of a strategic realignment of its IT infrastructure, dataglobal decided in 2024 to migrate to the CONVOTIS Private Cloud. The goal was to standardize operations, stabilize platform performance, and improve both data protection and scalability — while reducing internal effort and maintaining full control over sensitive customer data.
Status quo
Until the migration, dataglobal operated its services on its own on-premises infrastructure.
Meeting availability, performance, and regulatory requirements demanded significant internal resources — especially in the face of increasingly strict data protection standards.
The challenge
The goal was to find a reliable, cost-efficient, and scalable hosting environment that reduces operational workload while avoiding investments in new hardware.
At the same time, there could be no compromises in terms of performance, security, or regulatory compliance. The new platform also needed to be future-proof, easily scalable, and capable of ensuring stable, efficient operations over the long term.
The solution
By migrating to the CONVOTIS Private & Sovereign Cloud, dataglobal consolidated its IT infrastructure and shifted to a highly secure, sovereign cloud environment hosted entirely in Germany.
The solution enabled a significant reduction in internal maintenance effort, eliminated the need for hardware investments, and provided predictable, transparent operating costs. Compared to hyperscalers, the CONVOTIS Cloud offers the same level of performance while being up to 50% more cost-efficient – with full regulatory compliance.
The result
The migration to the CONVOTIS Cloud reduced dataglobal’s data center costs by 30% and completely eliminated a planned €1.5 million hardware investment.
The cloud platform delivers reliable performance, ensures compliance with European data protection regulations, and offers scalability for future innovation projects. This strategic shift strengthens dataglobal’s long-term digital resilience and operational efficiency.
