CloudFest 2026: Data Sovereignty & AI Solutions

Control Your Data. Everywhere. Secure. Sovereign. Ready for AI.

21 years of CloudFest – Time for change

No other IT event combines trade show, networking, and festival atmosphere as consistently as CloudFest. As one of the earliest exhibitors and a long-standing Diamond Partner, we will once again be there in 2026 – as always at the legendary Stand H01, right at the heart of the action, together with strong technology partners such as AMD, Broadcom, Cloudian, co-mind.ai and Seagate.

RNT makes its debut as Pyramid Computer

With the merger of Pyramid and RNT at the end of 2025, a powerful ecosystem has emerged that enables companies to own, protect, and leverage their data – from Edge to Cloud, from operations to AI.

CloudFest is the place where decisions are made about how companies will handle their data in the future: more Cloud, more AI, more Edge. But also more complexity, more dependencies, and ever less control. This is exactly where Pyramid Computer and RNT – as a brand of Pyramid – come in.
Together, we demonstrate how control over data can be regained: secure, sovereign, and ready for the next generation of Cloud and AI applications.

New challenges

Today, data is generated everywhere: in the Core, in the Cloud, at the Edge, in AI systems, in backups.
Data volumes are growing rapidly. What many companies increasingly lack is the necessary control:

over security and cyber resilience
over costs, performance, and scalability
over access, compliance, and data sovereignty
over the meaningful use of data for AI and analytics

One thing is clear: the Cloud does not decide the future – control over data does.

All the Power of AI. Inside Your Network.

For AI to be truly sovereign, it must adapt to your IT strategy, not the other way around. Sovereignty is more than just knowing where your data is stored; it is about having total authority over your entire ecosystem, from hosting and storage to cost structures and security logic.
co-mind.ai puts you back in the driver’s seat. Our platform allows you to deploy powerful AI assistants and agents while keeping both data and compute strictly inside your trusted network. For Service Providers, co-mind.ai enables a high-margin innovation strategy. Deliver sovereign Private AI-as-a-Service (PAlaaS) to your customers with total cost predictability, whether deployed on-premises or in the private cloud.

Join us at our demo pod to move beyond vendor lock-in and achieve true AI Sovereignty.
