next layer — Part of the Ö-Cloud Initiative Since Day One!
next layer has been an active member of Ö-Cloud Initiative working groups from the very beginning. We regularly contribute our expertise to help actively shape the future of the Ö-Cloud.
What is the Ö-Cloud Initiative?
With the implementation of the Ö-Cloud quality seal, the Austrian Federal Ministry for Digital and Economic Affairs has taken an essential step towards making Austria (and Europe) an attractive business location by ensuring secure cloud-based data management and data use. It also gives local cloud solution providers more room for maneuver in their business. The Ö-Cloud quality seal stands for secure data management and protection against data misuse. By participating in the Initiative, next layer commits to upholding the Initiative’s strict security standards – including, of course, the GDPR – thereby strengthening Austria’s position as a digital business hub.

The Future of the Ö-Cloud Initiative
The Gaia-X infrastructure standard was first developed in Germany and France by business, academic, and government representatives. Since then, other European partners have joined the project to create innovative products within the framework of a digital ecosystem. This foundation allows businesses to deliver their services on a global scale from within Europe. In the future, the Gaia-X standard will form part of the Ö-Cloud, guaranteeing compliance with European data protection laws right from the start.
