The need in Europe and elsewhere for sovereign cloud offerings is one of the hottest enterprise IT topics this year.
Recent geopolitical shifts and technological advancements have heightened the challenges for organizations responsible for society’s most critical functions, such as government, defense, and essential infrastructure.
As AI expands and global data exchange accelerates, the question of who controls the data that shapes economies and national strategies has become paramount, spurring interest in sovereign cloud offerings. Governments and industries need to know exactly where their data lives, because that determines what laws apply.
