# Nextcloud Workspace

Nextcloud Workspace is a fully managed, sovereign collaboration suite hosted in <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> data centres. It offers a secure, GDPR-compliant solution for document editing, cloud storage, communication, and AI—fully managed within a single platform, and designed as a sovereign alternative to US-based office suites.

## Why Nextcloud Workspace

Nextcloud Workspace provides the following key capabilities:

* **Comprehensive productivity suite:** Includes 1 TB of shared storage per user, real-time collaborative document editing with Collabora, professional video conferencing, and chat using Nextcloud Talk.
* **100%** [<mark style="color:blue;">**EU data sovereignty**</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/support/general-information/glossary-of-terms#european-union-eu-legal-sovereignty)**:** Data is hosted exclusively in <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> data centers in Europe, ensuring physical and legal protection from extraterritorial access requests, such as those under the [<mark style="color:blue;">US CLOUD Act</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/support/general-information/glossary-of-terms#us-clarifying-lawful-overseas-use-of-data-cloud-act).
* **Private AI by default:** Use the Nextcloud AI Assistant for tasks such as text generation, translation, and summarisation. Powered by the [<mark style="color:blue;">IONOS CLOUD AI Model Hub</mark>](/cloud/ai/ai-model-hub.md), your corporate data is never used to train models.
* **Zero-touch maintenance:** Delivered as a fully managed SaaS—<code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> handles server patching, version updates, and infrastructure security.
* **Unified billing and DCD integration:** Deploy directly from the [<mark style="color:blue;">Data Center Designer (DCD)</mark>](/cloud/set-up-ionos-cloud/data-center-designer.md) using your existing <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> account. Nextcloud Workspace costs appear on your <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> invoice.
