We are thrilled to announce that as of July 2024, Genesis Cloud has officially joined CISPE (Cloud Infrastructure Services Providers in Europe), the leading non-profit association dedicated to promoting cloud infrastructure services across Europe. This partnership marks a significant milestone in our mission to foster collaboration and drive innovation in the AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) sectors.
As the only purpose-built GPU cloud provider that is part of CISPE, Genesis Cloud is uniquely positioned to contribute to the development of a robust and diverse cloud infrastructure landscape in Europe. Our goal is to guarantee that advancements in the AI and HPC space are supported and can flourish within a fair and transparent market and regulatory environment. By joining forces with CISPE, we enhance our efforts in promoting fair competition, sustainable practices, regulatory compliance within the industry, and a European sovereign cloud.
One of the core tenets of CISPE is the advocacy for fair software licensing and the right of customers to run the software they need on the cloud platforms of their choice. We stand firmly behind this principle and are, as always, on the user's side, willing to guarantee the highest level of convenience.
"Joining CISPE aligns perfectly with our vision of a thriving, competitive, and fair cloud market in Europe," said Dr. Stefan Schiefer, CEO of Genesis Cloud. "As the only purpose-built GPU cloud provider in CISPE, we feel the unique opportunity to ensure that advancements in AI and HPC are supported and prioritized. Our goal is to build the leading European AI developer platform that offers the highest performance and best-in-class prices while ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements. By providing AI startups and enterprises with the tools and resources they need, we aim to foster innovation and growth in the AI sector across Europe. Through CISPE, we will work towards resisting any regulatory or market imposition that could hinder competition, limit customer choice, or stifle innovation."
CISPE emphasizes the importance of effective and harmonized implementation of existing regulations rather than the addition of new ones. Genesis Cloud shares this viewpoint and is committed to contributing to the creation of tools, handbooks, and frameworks that simplify compliance for both vendors and customers, starting with operating and distributing advanced services to support AI workloads under EU regulations.
"In an era where compliance can be complex, automatable tools and frameworks are essential," stated CISPE's Secretary General, Francisco Mingorance. "Genesis Cloud's commitment to ensuring that AI and HPC developments flourish in a fair and transparent market will be invaluable. Together, we can drive practical solutions for regulatory compliance, including the development of labeling and verifiable credentials programs."
The journey towards climate neutrality by 2030 is a significant goal for the cloud industry. As co-founders of the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact, CISPE is at the forefront of this initiative. Genesis Cloud is eager to contribute to this mission by ensuring our services are not only innovative but also sustainable.
"Data center sustainability is not just a buzzword for us; it's a commitment," remarked Dr. Stefan Schiefer, CEO of Genesis Cloud. "Since our foundation, we have chosen to democratize access to accelerated computing resources and to go green-at-source using 100% green-powered energy for our data center operations. This approach has helped our users comply with the EU Green Deal and ESG requirements. We look forward to collaborating with CISPE and other members to lead the way in making cloud technology a driving force in the green transition."
The cloud era is just beginning, and the evolution towards multi-cloud architectures is accelerating. Genesis Cloud and CISPE believe that Europe's diverse cloud infrastructure can be transformed into a positive force for growth through federation and collaboration.
"Europe is home to more cloud infrastructure service providers than anywhere else," noted CISPE's Secretary General, Francisco Mingorance. "Harnessing this strength and diversity is crucial for Europe to compete in the next generation of digital advances, including AI. With members like Genesis Cloud—focused on building high-performance AI platforms that meet compliance needs and ensuring that AI and HPC advancements can flourish—we are confident in our collective ability to foster innovation and leadership in the digital economy."
