The companies have signed a letter of intent and plan to sign "a multi-year contract within the next few months", Deutsche Bank said in a statement.

Fears also grew over questions of privacy when the US congress adopted the so-called Cloud Act, which allows American law enforcement authorities to request data stored by cloud providers even if held outside the US. In a bid to counter US dominance in the field, France and Germany in 2019 launched the Gaia-X cloud project. bur-fec/hmn/spm
