eScript

Research-grade data infrastructure for European projects

eScript provides independently operated data infrastructure for universities and EU-funded consortia.

  • Projects hosted
  • EU data residency
  • Independently operated

What is eScript

Independently operated infrastructure, run by a named person

eScript is run by Krzysztof Saja, Ph.D. — a software and solution architect with over 15 years of professional experience and a university lecturer. There is no abstract “provider” behind the platform: the person who designs it is the person who operates it.

It is an independently operated data infrastructure built on owned, dedicated hardware located in the European Union. It serves universities, research teams and EU-funded consortia that need a credible, inspectable environment for their workloads and data.

Capabilities

What we provide

Managed Kubernetes

High-availability, multi-node clusters run and maintained for your workloads.

GitOps delivery

Everything as code — declarative configuration and automated deployments.

Storage

Replicated block/NVMe storage plus S3-compatible object storage.

Monitoring & alerting

Metrics, dashboards and automated alerts on every hosted workload.

CI/CD

Integrated GitLab pipelines from commit to deployment.

Security

Secrets management, automated TLS and access control by default.

Connectivity

High-availability by design: redundant control plane, redundant ingress entry point, UPS-backed power and automated failover.

Reliability & operations

Operated like it matters — because it does

  • High-availability design across control plane and ingress
  • Automated monitoring and alerting on every workload
  • Declarative infrastructure — reproducible, versioned, reviewable
  • Automated backups and a disciplined patching cadence

Exit path: workloads and data remain portable — standard containers and open storage formats, with export documented. Leaving is a supported operation, not a negotiation.

Security & data protection

EU residency by construction, not by policy

  • EU data residency by construction — data never leaves the Union
  • Owned, dedicated hardware: no co-tenants, no third-party subprocessor chain
  • GDPR-aligned operational practices
  • Secrets management and automated certificate rotation

EU & data values

European digital sovereignty, in practice

European data residency

Data stays in the EU, on hardware located in the EU.

Open-source stack

Built on open components — inspectable, portable, no lock-in by design.

Energy-efficient hardware

Right-sized dedicated machines, not hyperscale over-provisioning.

Sovereignty values

European digital sovereignty as an operating principle, not a slogan.

For consortia

For Horizon Europe work packages

  • Demonstrable infrastructure for work packages — real workloads on real hardware, not a paper plan
  • EU-resident data hosting that survives partner and ethics review
  • Architecture and operations documentation usable in proposals and reports
  • A named infrastructure partner who answers directly

Honest limits

What we are — and are not

What we are

  • Independently operated — one accountable operator
  • Dedicated, owned hardware in the EU
  • Evidence-driven: published monitoring and GitOps repositories
  • Direct access to the operator — no ticket queues

What we are not

  • A hyperscaler — we do not compete with AWS or Azure on scale
  • ISO 27001 certified — we do not claim certifications we do not hold
  • A contractual-SLA provider — we operate best-effort, with published operational evidence

Engagement

Ways to work with us

Host a project workload

Move a service, pipeline or dataset onto eScript infrastructure and keep it EU-resident.

Pilot a work-package component

Run a single WP component on the platform to de-risk a proposal or a deliverable.

Infrastructure partner in a consortium

Bring eScript in as a named partner with demonstrable infrastructure and a named operator.
