[Essen, Germany, 17 May 2022] secunet Security Networks AG (ISIN DE0007276503, WKN 727650, secunet), Germany’s leading cyber security company and IT security partner of the Federal Republic of Germany, acquires 100 percent of the shares in SysEleven GmbH (SysEleven). The purchase agreement for the acquisition of the cloud specialist was signed today. With the acquisition, secunet is significantly expanding its range of solutions in the areas of cloud and cloud security.

SysEleven is an independent German provider of Cloud Infrastructure, Cloud Services, Managed Services and Managed Kubernetes. The company has its own open source based cloud infrastructure with ISO27001 certified data center locations in Germany (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) and provides MetaKube, a platform for the efficient management and optimization of computing, storage and network resources based on Kubernetes (Managed Kubernetes).

“With the acquisition of SysEleven, we accelerate our activities within the fast-growing market for secure cloud infrastructure. We strengthen our technological position and gain a team of highly qualified experts with proven capabilities in project implementation and managed services, as well as great expertise in OpenStack and Kubernetes”, commented Axel Deininger, CEO of secunet Security Networks AG. “Having already developed SecuStack, an open source based cloud operating system for customers running their cloud 'on premise', we can now also offer a solution 'as a service' and further develop it together. Our customers, who generally work with security-critical applications and confidential information, benefit in two ways: on the one hand from the flexibility in terms of availability, costs and performance, and on the other hand from the high quality and security expertise for which secunet has stood for over 25 years.”
