Lidl, the supermarket?
Amazon, the bookstore?
Not exactly “Lidl the supermarket.” It’s Schwarz Digits, the Schwarz Group tech arm. They eg sell STACKIT cloud and have dedicated cybersec offerings like XM Cyber. For context, the parent group did approx €175.4bn revenue in FY2024, which is not really a meme side quest.
We have Tesco Bank and Co-op Funeral care, so why not
Yes!!!
@Blaze that is frankly bizarre
Not really. If you want a hyper reliable cluster from a non-american company, you don't have a lot of choices honestly.
Quoting a wise person known as fartsparkles: "Amazon the bookstore?"
One company can have multiple services
@liaizon @Blaze I don't think they have many options. Also governments usually only buy from companies that submit government tenders - it's on the company to apply to sell to the government.
