In collaboration with asknet AG, a leading provider of global eCommerce solutions, Microsoft Deutschland GmbH is now offering its customers in research and education a new Infrastructure as a Service solution.
asknet AG has been providing its customers in the Academics Business Unit with cloud solutions that are tailored to their needs and purchasing processes since May 2016. Demand for virtual processing capacity is growing constantly, as is data privacy awareness.
“It was particularly important to us that we address the security needs and strict requirements of German education and research institutions optimally when expanding the portfolio,” commented Michael Baumann, Vice President of the Academics business unit. “The new cloud solution based on Microsoft Azure gives our customers security in terms of planning, duration and invoicing in addition to maximum security when it comes to data privacy.”
As an ISO 27018-certified company, Microsoft Deutschland GmbH is committed to upholding international data privacy standards in the cloud and to complying with the strict EU data protection guidelines at all times.
The Azure services for the European region will be operated from datacenters in Amsterdam (NL) and Dublin (IRL). Alternatively, Azure will also soon be available in Germany via a new data trustee model (Microsoft Cloud Germany).
“Thanks to the various versions on offer, colleges and universities can be sure that they fulfil the national, regional and industry-specific requirements relating to the recording and usage of data,” said Stefan Schick, Director of Education at Microsoft Deutschland GmbH.
