A Private Cloud You Don’t Have to Operate

T4 Private Cloud is a fully managed infrastructure platform for regulated industries. Your data stays physically in the EU, with NIS2, DORA, and GDPR controls built into the platform, contracts, and operations model from day one.

ca. 50%

Typical TCO reduction vs. optimized public cloud.

80-90%

Savings on unoptimized hyperscaler workloads.

15 min

P1 incident response time. 24/7 monitoring.

€10M

Maximum NIS2 fine. Or 2% of global turnover.

Cloud architecture is not just a technical decision anymore. It is now a compliance decision, a financial decision, and, under NIS2, a significant personal decision for company directors.

EU 2022/2555

NIS2

Personal accountability for company directors. Fines can reach €10 million or 2% of global turnover. Organizations must implement risk management, incident response, business continuity, and supply chain security controls.

CEO hook: Personal liability - this isn’t just an IT decision anymore.

EU 2022/2554

DORA

Financial institutions are now accountable for ICT vendor oversight, operational resilience, auditability, and exit planning. Infrastructure contracts are becoming a compliance issue, not just a procurement decision.

CFO/Compliance hook: The contract you have today may not pass tomorrow’s audit.

US 2018

CLOUD Act

US cloud providers remain subject to US jurisdiction, regardless of where the data is stored. EU data residency alone does not eliminate jurisdictional exposure.

CTO/CISO hook: Data location doesn’t change provider jurisdiction.

ECJ | EU-US DPF

Schrems II

Cross-border data transfers remain legally sensitive and subject to ongoing regulatory scrutiny. For regulated organizations, legal certainty remains a moving target.

All stakeholders hook: The rules may change. Your infrastructure shouldn’t depend on them staying the same.

Five years ago, choosing a hyperscaler was largely a technical and financial decision. Today, cloud architecture affects compliance, auditability, operational resilience, and executive accountability.

01 / COST

Costs you can't forecast

Egress fees. Premium managed services. Uncontrolled scaling. What starts as operational flexibility often turns into unpredictable monthly spend. Budgeting becomes harder, forecasting becomes less reliable, and infrastructure costs become increasingly difficult to explain.

02 / COMPLIANCE

Compliance your auditor questions

DORA, NIS2, and GDPR have raised the bar for infrastructure governance. Audit rights, exit planning, vendor oversight, and supply-chain transparency are no longer optional. Many organizations discover the gaps only when the audit begins.

03 / CONTROL

Control you've already lost

Vendor lock-in grows quietly over time. Migrating away becomes expensive, operational dependencies increase, and critical decisions are dictated by your provider’s roadmap. When resilience is tested, you discover how little control you actually have.

We operate the platform, not just the hardware. Your team deploys applications while we manage infrastructure, monitoring, backup, security, and compliance controls from day one.

T4 Private Cloud IS

✓ Fully managed infrastructure platform 

✓ Predictable monthly pricing 

✓ Compliance-ready operations 

✓ Open stack with no vendor lock-in 

✓ Data physically located in the EU 

✓ 24/7 operations · 15-minute P1 response 

✓ Auditability built in 

✓ Build-to-own transition path

T4 Private Cloud IS NOT

✕ Hosting or colocation 

✕ Pay-as-you-go with surprises 

✕ “Compliance is on you.” 

✕ A proprietary platform with exit fees 

✕ An EU region with unclear jurisdiction 

✕ Best-effort ticket support 

✕ A permanent dependency

“We have a long-term hyperscaler contract. We can’t just walk away from it.” You don’t have to. A hybrid model is often the right answer, not a compromise.

We begin with evidence rather than a migration plan. The GAP analysis provides a clear view of compliance gaps, operational risks, and infrastructure options, no matter which path you ultimately choose.

1

Discovery call (Free | 60 min | Online or in person)

Understand your current environment, key challenges, and compliance scope. Receive a short written summary after the call.

2

Paid GAP analysis (2-4 weeks | Structured assessment)

We review compliance, security, architecture, vendor risk, and infrastructure costs. The result is a written assessment with clear findings, recommendations, and a roadmap for next steps.

3

Recommendation (Joint review | Honest outcome)

We present the findings and recommend the most suitable path forward. Whether that’s T4 Private Cloud, a hybrid model, an on-premises deployment, a build-to-own approach, or no change at all.

The right deployment model depends on your regulatory, operational, and business requirements. We determine the best fit during the GAP analysis.

Best fit: Most regulated organizations

Private Cloud (default)

Dedicated infrastructure in our EU data centers, fully managed by T4 with 24/7 operations, monitoring, backup, and compliance controls built in.

Best fit: Organizations with existing hyperscaler contracts and long-term commitments

Hybrid Model

Keep regulated workloads with T4 while retaining selected services in AWS, Azure, or GCP. Reduce concentration risk without replacing existing cloud investments.

Best fit: Defense, public sector, and high-security environments

OnPrem T4 Cloud

Infrastructure deployed on your premises and operated by T4. Data remains within your physical perimeter while benefiting from our operational model.

Best fit: Organizations building long-term internal infrastructure capabilities

Build-to-Own

We design, deploy, and operate the environment until your team is ready to take ownership and run it independently.

Built on open-source, industry-standard technologies with auditability, portability, and operational resilience built in. No proprietary layer means no vendor lock-in.
