Data marketplace & AI tools in 85 seconds

The cloud-edge continuum is transforming Europe’s data-driven industry. Telekom’s OnEdge and Connect & Integrate solutions enable secure, real-time data processing and seamless integration into interoperable dataspaces. Together, they empower businesses with full data sovereignty, compliance with European standards, and the ability to monetize insights efficiently. As part of the 8ra initiative, these technologies pave the way for AI, Industrial IoT, and Digital Twins, driving Europe’s technological independence.

This article outlines our experience migrating workloads from an on-premises data center to the AWS Cloud, culminating in the decommissioning of our last server in December 2024. The migration focused on our Motion Data product, which leverages geo-information analytics from Deutsche Telekom's mobile network to provide anonymized mass movement insights for industries such as retail, tourism, and public transport. Our transition to AWS was driven by rising colocation costs and the need to modernize our infrastructure, which faced limitations due to outdated technology constraints, high maintenance efforts, and inefficient storage and compute resource management. We selected AWS's Replatforming approach to harness managed services, improve scalability, and replace legacy Hadoop infrastructure with a more flexible Spark-on-Kubernetes and S3-based solution. The migration delivered key benefits, including 35% lower infrastructure costs, access to up-to-date technology stacks, and removal of resource constraints for compute workloads. By leveraging AWS-managed services such as Kubernetes (EKS), EMR, and RDS, we optimized performance, simplified operations, and positioned ourselves for future growth and innovation in cloud-native environments.

The Danish Data Space Forum and Gaia-X Hub launch showcases how businesses can securely share data using advanced dataspaces. T-Systems offers accessible, standardized solutions enabling organizations to focus on unlocking economic benefits rather than managing complex technology, supporting all industries in leveraging dataspaces effectively.

The Global Data Spaces Connect in Vienna highlighted the transition from technical exploration to practical, business-driven applications of dataspaces. With insights from experts like Wolfgang Ebner, Nina Popanton, and Sofie Verbrugge, the event showcased cross-domain innovations, sustainable business models, and real-world applications in fields such as smart cities and healthcare. Leaders emphasized the importance of collaboration, robust business cases, and scalability, underscoring dataspaces' potential to transform industries.

In a multi-cloud setup, using Rancher to manage Kubernetes clusters requires adding NAT gateway IPs to the Rancher Load Balancer's Security Group. Due to Security Group limits of 1,000 IPs per ENI, employing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) is beneficial. WAF allows 100 IP sets with 10,000 IPs each, supporting up to 1 million IP addresses and providing enhanced logging and metrics.
