Sovereign Cloud Rethought: Google Distributed Cloud air-gapped
Cloud-native infrastructure with maximum control and true data sovereignty
Google Distributed Cloud air-gapped: Self-Sufficient, Innovative and AI-Enabled Cloud Technology

The Google Distributed Cloud air-gapped (GDC air-gapped) is the ideal solution for organizations with requirements for resilience, security and control in sensitive IT environments. This cloud-native infrastructure offers complete physical isolation - with no internet connection and no third-party access. When processing sensitive data, organizations benefit from the latest cloud technology and can also use AI functions - in a fully protected infrastructure.
As one of only two managed GDC providers in Germany, we support you in exploiting the full potential of GDC air-gapped - from strategic consulting and implementation to secure operation in your data center or directly on your premises.
Whether your organization is a financial services provider, a healthcare facility, a public institution or an operator of critical infrastructure: With GDC air-gapped, you can realize a sovereign cloud that is uncompromisingly designed for security, control and innovation - based on the technology of a leading hyperscaler.
Your Benefits with the Google Distributed Cloud
Self-sufficient
The entire environment runs completely without a connection to the internet or Google Cloud. Infrastructure, services and APIs remain permanently separated - for maximum security and complete independence.
Safe
GDC air-gapped offers maximum security for sensitive data and critical applications. The physical separation creates the ideal basis for certified compliance in highly sensitive areas. Transport-level encryption (TLS), zero-trust concepts and international security standards such as NIST, FIPS and FedRAMP are also supported.
Sovereign
With GDC air-gapped, you retain control over your data, systems and processes at all times. The solution gives you a sovereign operating model - independent, transparent and completely in your hands. Ideal for anyone who values digital self-determination.
Reliable
GDC air-gapped supports the creation of highly available environments with multi-zone architecture and fail-safe design. Business continuity and disaster recovery scenarios can also be implemented with confidence - stable, scalable and independent.
AI-capable
GDC air-gapped enables the offline use of powerful AI applications - from OCR and video analysis to context-based search with Large Language Models (LLMs). Users access local data via the integrated Agentspace search - quickly, context-based and in Google quality. This means that artificial intelligence can also be used securely for sensitive data.
Flexible
A growing ecosystem of certified software is available to you via the Distributed Cloud Marketplace - fully executable within your isolated environment and without external dependencies.
Frequently Asked Questions About Google Distributed Cloud air-gapped
-
What does "air-gapped" mean with the Google Distributed Cloud?
The term "air-gapped" stands for a completely isolated IT environment - with no connection to the public internet or the Google Cloud. Infrastructure, services and data remain consistently separate and under your own control.
-
For which organizations is GDC air-gapped particularly interesting?
The solution is aimed at all organizations that have the highest requirements for data protection, control and compliance - for example in the public sector, the financial sector, healthcare or critical infrastructure.
-
How does the search with Agentspace work within GDC?
The Agentspace search can be executed locally in the GDC environment and enables intelligent, context-based data analysis - confidently, efficiently and without an Internet connection.
-
Are there different hardware variants of GDC air-gapped?
Yes, GDC air-gapped is available as a compact appliance ("Cloud-in-a-Box") - ideal for confined spaces or mobile deployment scenarios. Alternatively, the solution can also be set up as a scalable multi-rack environment with high availability - depending on requirements and operating location.
