T-Systems is offering free cloud computing services to space-industry startups.

​​​​​​​The European Space Agency (ESA) plans to use the Space Solutions Alliance, a specialist network for space and non-space corporates, research institutes and public institutions, to strengthen European high-tech startups. T-Systems, Deutsche Telekom's corporate customer unit – and the first corporate partner for the Space Solutions Alliance – will provide the network with cloud computing services on its Open Telekom Cloud (Open Telekom Cloud) platform. Space-industry companies typically work with large quantities of data, and the Open Telekom Cloud will provide the startups with a secure platform for data storage and processing. Europe-wide, ESA currently operates 16 Business Incubation Centres (BICs) that support startups seeking to transfer technologies from the space industry into other business sectors.

Starting right away, T-Systems will offer Open Telekom Cloud services, free of charge, and on a trial basis, to startups being hosted at ESA BICs. In addition, startups will have the opportunity to apply for ongoing use of customized cloud computing services. In addition to cloud-based services, successful startup applicants will receive up to 30,000 euros worth of support from service and migration specialists.

T-Systems' Open Telekom Cloud services, which were launched in March 2016, combine the attractive prices of public-cloud services with a maximum of flexibility. The cloud-based services are provided exclusively from German data centers, and they can be integrated within existing IT environments via standard interfaces. 

Open Telekom Cloud avoid any technological dependence because of its OpenStack base. The Open Telekom Cloud services catalog includes computing, storage, network, security and management services. All of the cloud services can be added and removed as necessary, in minutes, at any time.
