TTNL Group and Erik Sterck GmbH Join Forces to Establish Fourth European Data Center Zone

In a strategic move aimed at bolstering Europe's digital sovereignty, TTNL Group and Erik Sterck GmbH have announced a partnership. The alliance will culminate in the establishment of a fourth European data center zone for cloud and managed services, located in the Frankfurt am Main region.

TTNL Group, headquartered in Utrecht, specializes in data management in the hybrid multi-cloud and optimizes complex hybrid multi-cloud environments. The company partners with industry giants such as IBM, Red Hat, Pure Storage, NetApp, Lenovo, Dell Technologies, VMware, Equinix, Varonis, Veeam, and Rubrik.

Erik Sterck GmbH, with branches in Leonberg, Cologne, Munich, and Hamburg, serves around 250 medium-sized customers and companies across various industries in Germany. The company has received accolades such as "Best Technical Partner" from Nutanix, "Cyber Recovery Partner of the Year" and "DACH Partner of the Year" from Arctic Wolf Networks.

The new partnership will see Erik Sterck GmbH benefit from access to TTNL's modern hybrid cloud platform and complementary managed services. The merged entity will jointly offer next-generation IT and cloud services for companies throughout Europe.

Michel Luxembourg, CEO of TTNL Group, emphasized the importance of Europe's digital sovereignty in the current geopolitical climate. He expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating that it will be a significant step towards achieving this goal.

Founder Erik Sterck remains involved in the company's management as chairman and is responsible for the group's growth in the DACH region. TTNL Group aims to expand into the entire DACH region, and Erik Sterck GmbH will retain its current structures and continue to operate as an independent actor under its own brand.

TTNL Group's CEO, who has been in a strategic alliance with Erik Sterck GmbH since autumn 2024, is not explicitly mentioned in the available search results. The data center will be located in the Frankfurt am Main region, with the new European data center zone set to contribute to the region's digital infrastructure.

The merger is a win-win situation for both companies, combining TTNL's expertise in data management with Erik Sterck's focus on automation and AI-supported operational services, including data centers, cloud-native services, and cybersecurity.

With this partnership, both companies are taking a significant step towards shaping the future of digital services in Europe. The establishment of the fourth European data center zone marks a milestone in the pursuit of digital sovereignty and the continued growth of the digital economy in Europe.
