Businesses and end users alike have higher demands and expectations on how their data is protected.
In this climate, CIOs and their teams are busy looking at how to build sovereign cloud networks that protect data and enable the business.
We’re seeing customers build hybrid infrastructure, blending sovereign clouds for sensitive workloads with public clouds for scalability. European cloud providers such as OVHcloud, IONOS, Hetzner and Scaleway are gaining traction, while hyperscalers like AWS and Microsoft Azure have introduced EU sovereign offerings. When it comes to sovereign cloud, there are more options than ever.
When it comes to building digital infrastructure for sovereign cloud, customers face three key challenges:
- Keeping data within EU borders during transit
Data sovereignty isn’t just about where your data sits, it’s about every path it traverses
- Maintaining performance across multiple cloud environments
Multi-cloud environments come with additional latency and reliability demands that some networks aren’t built for
- Avoiding vendor lock-in while enabling flexibility
Customers need the freedom to choose the right cloud offerings, whether from EU-native providers or hyperscalers’ EU sovereign or global public clouds
Network infrastructure plays a pivotal role.
You need neutrality, the freedom to connect to any cloud, without bias, so you can adapt quickly. You also need agility, where the infrastructure can evolve with your business and your needs. Finally, you need security and trust, working with a partner that can not only secure the data in transit, but who adheres to high standards themselves.
We’ve been named as one of the first AWS European Sovereign Cloud Connectivity partners, supporting the growing demand for data sovereignty in Europe.
We’ve been a trusted connectivity partner for enterprises for decades.
Delivering secure, high-performance connections to AWS, Azure, Google, Oracle and IBM. As sovereign cloud adoption grows, we’re leading the way by enabling connectivity to both EU-sovereign offerings from hyperscalers and native European cloud providers like OVHcloud and Scaleway.
For enterprises, this means confidence in compliance, flexibility in cloud choice, and assurance that connectivity won’t be a barrier to innovation.
Sovereign cloud adoption is reshaping the European digital landscape, and connectivity is the foundation that makes it possible.
