T Cloud Public is a cloud computing service from Deutsche Telekom, formerly known as the Open Telekom Cloud (OTC) before 2026. It runs on the infrastructure as a service (IaaS) model and incorporates OpenStack; the underlying data centers are located in Biere and Magdeburg Germany, and are owned by T-Systems. Since 2021, additional data centers are located in Almere and Aalsmeer, Netherlands, and since 2022 in Bern and Zollikofen, Switzerland.[1][2][3]

Architecture

T Cloud Public utilizes OpenStack distribution, enabling users to dynamically manage resources via a self-service portal or API. Customers can individually configure computing, storage, networking, and related resources as needed.[4]

Services

T Cloud Public offers a range of services including computing, storage, networking, database solutions, big data analytics, and AI solutions. Supported operating systems include Ubuntu.[5][6]

As of 2024, the Biere data center provided storage for approximately 970 petabytes of data on around 100,000 servers, covering a total area of about 11,000 square meters.[7]

Significant collaborative projects include working with CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, to evaluate scientific data processing in commercial cloud environments.[8] Additionally, the Open Telekom Cloud serves as the infrastructure for Mundi Web Services, providing access and processing capabilities for the European Space Agency's (ESA) Copernicus program satellites' data.[9][10]
