# The European Cloud Platform.

Europe deserves a real public cloud. Not a hoster with a sovereignty deck. A platform that ships. Under EU law.


### Our mission

To build hyperscaler-grade cloud under real European jurisdiction. Both pillars. No compromise.

### Our vision

The infrastructure layer Europe runs on. Built, owned, and operated here.

### Why enum exists.


**The problem**
Europe runs on clouds it does not control. US hyperscalers ship world-class product with zero sovereignty. The CLOUD Act follows the entity, not the datacenter. Choosing an EU region at a US provider does not change who can compel access.

**The thesis**
Europe's clouds did not fail for lack of capital. They failed for lack of product. A decade of proof. Sovereignty on paper with a 2010-era stack is not enough.

**The answer**
Only both pillars. Hyperscaler-grade developer experience, and verifiable EU jurisdiction. enum is a shared public cloud: self-service, API-first, multi-tenant, built and operated in Germany on infrastructure we own end to end.

### What we build.

A shared public cloud. Self-service, API-first, multi-tenant. CLI, API, Console. Not a catalog of SKUs, the company behind the platform.

- **enum Kubernetes Engine**: Upstream Managed Kubernetes with an HA control plane per cluster.
- **Object Storage**: S3-compatible storage in Frankfurt.
- **Block Storage**: NVMe-backed, replicated volumes for Kubernetes and compute.
- **VPC & Networking**: Private networking, load balancing, Cloud NAT, enum DNS.
- **Our network**: Own ASN, European peering, edge PoPs.

Also on the platform: Compute, CDN, and WAF. Built for production workloads that need EU jurisdiction without giving up DX.

### Verifiable sovereignty.

Every claim below is independently checkable. No sovereignty-washing.

**Frankfurt facility**
Infrastructure in a Tier III+ Frankfurt facility certified to ISO 27001 and EN 50600. Those certifications belong to the facility, not to enum.

### Production workloads.

European teams already run real products on enum.


> At enum, real engineers worked through the migration with us directly. Since the switch, we can sleep through the night again. Infrastructure that simply runs was exactly what we wanted.

### Security & compliance.

ISO 27001 certification is in progress. BSI C5 is on the roadmap. No public dates until they are earned. For HealthTech, FinTech, and GovTech buyers, the security page is the place to dig in.

### Questions CTOs ask.


**Is enum subject to the US CLOUD Act?**
No. enum GmbH is a German company with no US entity in its corporate structure, so it is not subject to the US CLOUD Act or FISA Section 702. Selecting an EU region at a US-headquartered provider does not remove that exposure, because the corporate jurisdiction of the company holding the data is what counts.

**Where does enum store data?**
Production infrastructure runs in Frankfurt, Germany, in a Tier III+ facility. Data stays in the EU on enum's own network (AS215998). There is no US parent and no US subprocessor path for customer workloads.

**Who owns enum?**
enum is operated by enum GmbH, a German limited company registered in Cologne (HRB 121362, Amtsgericht Köln). There is no US parent company.
