German Top Secure Data Processing

What German Top Secure Data Processing does

German Top Secure Data Processing GmbH (GTS Data Processing) is a privately held German HPC service provider founded in 2019 and headquartered in Neudrossenfeld, Bavaria, operating with 11–50 employees. The company delivers bare-metal High Performance Computing as a managed cloud service, targeted at German and European customers whose data must remain within German jurisdiction under DSGVO/GDPR. Its portfolio spans three core offerings — HPC Cloud Service, HPC as a Service (HPCaaS), and CAE as a Service — complemented by PaaS4SIM (a Simulation Data & Process Management platform powered by MSC Software), a full Managed Service layer, and adjacent Data Science Cloud and Big Data Analytics services.

The underlying technology is a non-virtualized bare-metal Linux HPC stack with InfiniBand networking, parallel file systems with data tiering, and CPU/GPU resources from Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA, pre-configured for leading engineering simulation tools (ANSYS, Dassault, Siemens, COMSOL, CONVERGE, LSTC). A multi-tiered security architecture — including 4 Tbit/s backbone, DDoS protection, WAF, NGFW, SIEM, Shell Control Box, and TISAX/ISO 27001/ISO 20000-1/BSI/EN 50600/ISAE 3402 Type II certifications — underpins a German data-sovereignty value proposition aimed at automotive, manufacturing, financial services, healthcare, and regulated workloads.

GTS monetizes primarily through usage-based, pay-per-use billing on monthly cycles, with optional flat-rate subscription and full managed-service contracts; the model is explicitly OPEX-oriented to avoid customer CAPEX and is positioned as up to 40% cheaper than alternative HPC-as-a-Service providers. Go-to-market is consultative direct sales (enterprise and mid-market) in the DACH region, supplemented by free trial onboarding, individualized HPC webinars, content marketing, and a technology partner ecosystem (HPE, Dell, IBM, Noris Network, MSC Software, ASC-S). Customer revenue is not publicly disclosed and the visible reference base is small, with GNS, FORMCEPT, Asuna Finanz, and we-finanz as named logos.

Core offering

German Top Secure Data Processing GmbH delivers secure High Performance Computing (HPC) and engineering simulation services to industrial and enterprise customers. Its core offerings are HPC Cloud, HPC-as-a-Service, CAE-as-a-Service, the PaaS4SIM simulation data and process management platform, managed HPC services, a Data Science Cloud, and Big Data Analytics. The company operates and runs these HPC and analytics environments on its own infrastructure, marketed under a German data sovereignty positioning.

Product overview

GTS Data Processing is an HPC Service Provider offering a modular cloud-based High Performance Computing portfolio. The core offerings consist of three main services: HPC Cloud Service (bare-metal cloud infrastructure), HPC as a Service (configured private/dedicated clusters with German data center hosting), and CAE as a Service (fully managed HPC clusters for engineering with pre-installed simulation software). These are complemented by PaaS4SIM (Simulation Data & Process Management platform powered by MSC One), Managed Service (full operational outsourcing), Data Science Cloud, and Big Data Analytics. The portfolio is unified by German data sovereignty, DSGVO compliance, and Tier 3+/4 certified German data centers.

Broad incumbents

• IONOS (1&1 IONOS): Major European cloud and hosting provider headquartered in Germany, offering dedicated servers, cloud infrastructure, and managed services to SMB and enterprise customers. Comparable as a German-rooted alternative to hyperscalers, with broader portfolio but less HPC-specialized than GTS.
• OVHcloud: European cloud provider offering bare-metal dedicated servers, HPC instances, and sovereign cloud infrastructure. Directly competes on bare-metal performance and European data sovereignty, but at much larger scale across multiple geographies than GTS.
• Atos (Eviden HPC business): Global IT services group with a large HPC division (formerly Bull, including Nimbix) offering HPC-as-a-Service, supercomputers, and managed clusters for science and industry. Competes at much larger scale across Europe with overlapping bare-metal and managed HPC capabilities.

Direct peers

• Rescale: Cloud HPC platform purpose-built for engineering and scientific simulation workloads (CAE, CFD, FEA). Offers pay-per-use HPC with pre-installed simulation software from ANSYS, Siemens, Dassault, and others — directly mirroring GTS's CAE-as-a-Service and PaaS4SIM positioning.
• Hetzner Online GmbH: Germany-based hosting and dedicated server provider offering cloud and bare-metal infrastructure with strong data sovereignty positioning. Targets price-sensitive European customers with dedicated servers and cloud instances, overlapping with GTS's bare-metal HPC cloud value proposition.
• Noris Network AG: German data center and network services provider; also a direct technology partner of GTS. Operates certified German data centers and offers HPC/IT infrastructure services to enterprise customers in the DACH region, directly comparable to GTS's hosting and managed HPC offering.
• MegWare Computer Vertrieb GmbH: Germany-based HPC system integrator and cluster provider serving academic and research customers across Europe. Builds and operates HPC clusters with a similar technical and geographic focus as GTS, competing for HPC-conscious European enterprise and research workloads.

Emerging players

• SimScale: Cloud-native CAE simulation platform offering browser-based FEA, CFD, and thermal analysis. Targets engineering teams needing simulation without HPC ownership, intersecting GTS's CAE-as-a-Service customer segment with a software-led rather than infrastructure-led model.
• Comino (Comino Holding): European provider of liquid-cooled HPC workstations, servers, and clusters tailored for simulation, AI, and rendering workloads. Competes at the edge of GTS's CAE and AI HPC segments with custom liquid-cooled hardware rather than rented data-center capacity.
• UberCloud: Marketplace and service for running engineering simulations in the cloud, connecting CAE users with HPC capacity across multiple providers. Targets the same CAE/HPC customer base as GTS with a software-and-marketplace layer rather than owned infrastructure.
