Private Cloud is the foundation of digital sovereignty: greater control over data, applications, and operational processes, aligned with your organization’s specific requirements.

Leapfrog designs, builds, and operates tailored server and cluster solutions for companies and public sector organizations. In many cases, this results in Kubernetes-based platforms on which applications, services, and workloads can be run securely and transparently. We support our clients from architecture and migration through to stable operations.

Why Private Cloud?

Not every organization wants to, or can, run business-critical applications in public cloud environments. This is especially true where sensitive data is processed, regulatory requirements must be met, or technological dependencies need to be reduced.

A private cloud provides greater control over data, applications, operational processes, and the underlying technology stack. This is often particularly important for confidential AI applications, as models, data, interfaces, and internal processes can be operated in an environment that meets the relevant security and compliance requirements.

At the same time, a private cloud increases independence. By using open-source technologies and open standards, platforms can be built in a way that keeps them manageable and portable over the long term. This reduces vendor lock-in and prevents critical applications or data from becoming permanently tied to individual providers.

From an economic perspective, a private cloud can also make sense in many cases. Especially for predictable, continuously running workloads or data-intensive applications, significant cost savings compared to hyperscalers and public cloud offerings are often possible—particularly when infrastructure, operations, and scaling are tailored precisely to actual demand.

A private cloud can be built and operated either on-premises or with German data center partners. This creates a modern platform with clear responsibilities, controlled data storage, and a high degree of transparency.

Our Services

We support the design, implementation, and operation of tailored platforms for modern applications and container workloads. Our services include in particular:

• Design of individual server and cluster architectures

• Setup and operation of Kubernetes environments

• Migration of existing applications and workloads to dedicated infrastructure

• Containerization and modernization of deployments

• Implementation of CI/CD, monitoring, logging, and alerting

• Securing platforms, networks, and operational processes

• Documentation, knowledge transfer, and technical support

Putting Digital Sovereignty into Practice

For us, digital sovereignty means more than simply operating on dedicated infrastructure. It is about reducing technological dependencies, maintaining control over data, and ensuring that systems remain manageable in the long term.

This includes:

• Operating on own hardware or with German hosting and data center partners

• Transparent, comprehensible architectures

• Open standards and portable deployments

• Automated, reproducible operational processes

• Clear security and access models

From Migration to Operations

We analyze existing systems, design target architectures, and support migration step by step. Whether it is individual applications, complete workloads, or new platforms for containerized software, our goal is always operations that are secure, maintainable, and future-ready.

Leapfrog helps you move applications and services onto infrastructure that fits your organization—individually designed, cleanly implemented, and reliably supported over the long term.
