Das BSI schreibt an einem neuen Draft des C5 Katalogs und forderte die Community hier zum Kommentieren auf C5:2025 - die Zukunft des C5 als Community Draft.

5¢ für C5 als Formular

Meine 5¢ Kommentar sind in diesem Formular

Was fehlt?

Meine wesentlichen Ergänzungen, neben vielen Details:

• Wer digital souveräne Dienste anbieten will, braucht digital souveräne Rechenzentren. Es reicht aber nicht, wenn deren Standorte in Deutschland sind, die Betreiber und Dienstleister dürfen auch nicht von einer fremden Jurisdiktion betroffen sein.

The BSI is working on a new draft of the C5 catalogue and has asked the community to comment on it here C5:2025 – the future of C5 as a community draft.

5¢ for C5 as a form

My 5¢ comment is in this form

What’s missing?

My main additions, besides many details:

• Anyone who wants to offer digitally sovereign services needs digitally sovereign data centres. However, it is not enough for them to be located in Germany; the operators and service providers must also not be subject to foreign jurisdiction.

While half the German cabinet is travelling to Jülich, Germany, to inaugurate a new supercomputer Jupiter, which ranks fourth on the Exascale Top 500 list with a power consumption of 17MW, the hyperscalers are getting down to business when it comes to monopoly policy. In Jülich, 24,000 GH200 Grace Hopper superchips from NVIDIA are being installed, naturally also for AI and LLMs. All these ideas make sense, but one of the most nonsensical applications of graphics cards and their derivatives is AI. Weather forecasts, CO2-free power supply and energy savings in air traffic are already areas of research that sound applicable and whose significance is obvious. Astrophysics and quark-gluon plasmas are interesting, but I’m more interested in whether I can get through the winter with solar energy, battery storage and a heat pump.
